Limbs hanging over a roof cause slow damage through the wet season in Snohomish and King County. Needles and leaves clog gutters and roof valleys, moss spreads on shaded shingles, and swaying branches scrape roofing and siding.
Roof clearance pruning removes or shortens the limbs over and against a house so the roof gets more air and light. Arbor Vet Tree Service makes proper cuts at the branch collar instead of topping or stubbing, which keeps the tree balanced and avoids weak regrowth. Late fall is a practical time for this work, ahead of the heaviest winter rain and wind.
Limbs over a roof are lowered with ropes rather than dropped, and branches near the service line to the house are handled as a hazard. Every job ends with gutters and yard cleared of cut material, from Everett and Mill Creek to Bothell and Kirkland. A clear roofline dries faster after each rain and gives moss less of a foothold.
