Tree Trimming

Tree Trimming in Northern Idaho

(Serving Blanchard, Spirit Lake, Priest River & Surrounding Areas)

Healthy trees do more than look good—when properly maintained, they protect your home, improve curb appeal, and stay resilient through Northern Idaho’s harsh seasons. At Timber Valley Tree Co., we provide professional tree trimming tailored to our region’s fast-growing evergreens, maples, cottonwoods, and aspens. Our goal is simple: healthier trees, safer yards, and long-term property protection.

Why Tree Trimming Matters in Northern Idaho

From the tall pines near Priest River to the hardwoods around Coeur d’Alene, trees in this region can grow aggressively—and sometimes in ways that create hazards.

Common issues we see include:

• Heavy branches hanging over roofs, sheds, driveways, and power lines
• Weak, crossed, or rubbing limbs that are likely to break in wind or snow
• Dense canopies blocking sunlight from lawns and gardens
• Deadwood that attracts pests, rot, and disease
• Trees growing unevenly after years without maintenance

Regular trimming prevents these problems while improving the health, structure, and appearance of your trees. If you’re unsure whether a tree needs trimming or removal, give us a call and we'll come out to assess the tree.

Our Tree Trimming Service

Every tree requires a different approach. Our team uses modern climbing and rigging methods that protect both your tree and your property.

Here’s what’s included in our trimming service:

• Removing dead, dying, or diseased limbs
• Clearing branches away from homes, roofs, fences, driveways, and pathways
• Shaping trees for balanced, strong growth
• Thinning dense canopies to improve sunlight and airflow
• Reducing weight on vulnerable branches before heavy snow arrives

Whether you’re maintaining a wooded acreage or a smaller residential lot, we build a custom trimming plan based on your property’s goals and safety needs.

Seasonal Tree Maintenance

Northern Idaho weather puts trees under pressure year-round. A seasonal trimming schedule helps prevent breakage and costly damage.

Recommended timing:

Spring & Summer

Light shaping, removing deadwood, and improving sunlight for gardens and lawns.

Fall

Reducing heavy limbs before snow season and addressing structural issues.

Winter

Emergency trimming when storms cause broken or hanging limbs.

Routine maintenance keeps trees healthier while reducing the risk of winter storm damage.

Emergency Tree Service

Storms can strike fast, and broken limbs or partially fallen branches can create immediate hazards. Our emergency crew is available day or night to remove dangerous limbs before they cause further damage.

We handle:

• Branches hanging over driveways or walkways
• Limbs that split during snow or wind
• Trees or branches threatening structures or vehicles

Fast response makes all the difference—and as a local Blanchard crew, we’re never far away.

Stump Grinding & Removal (Add-On Option)

If trimming reveals a dead, rotten, or hazardous tree that needs full removal, we can also take care of the stump.

• Stump Grinding: Grinds the stump below ground level for a smooth, clean finish.
• Stump Removal: Full root extraction for construction, regrading, or landscaping projects.

Learn more on our Stump Grinding & Stump Removal page.

Brush & Lot Clearing

For larger or wooded properties, trimming often pairs well with clearing overgrown brush and small trees.

We provide:

• Fenceline clearing
• Driveway and trail access clearing
• Brush removal around structures
• Site prep for shops, additions, or building pads

See our Brush & Lot Clearing service for more information.

Storm Damage Cleanup

After a heavy snow, ice storm, or wind event, we help restore your yard quickly and safely.

Our storm cleanup includes:

• Cutting and hauling away downed branches
• Chipping on-site for mulch (optional)
• Clearing driveways, private roads, and access points
• Removing limbs from yards, cabins, and lakefront property

Fire Prevention Services

Wildfire danger is a reality in the Inland Northwest. Proper trimming plays a crucial role in creating defensible space around homes and cabins.

We help reduce fire risk by:

• Removing ladder fuels
• Thinning dense growth
• Clearing overhanging branches
• Improving spacing around structures

More details are on our Fire Prevention & Defensible Space page.
