A branch resting on your roof in October becomes a moss farm, a gutter clog, and a shingle scraper by March.
Through Bellingham's long wet season, overhanging limbs keep roofs shaded and damp, drop needles and cones into gutters, and rub against shingles every time the wind picks up. Western red cedars, Douglas firs, and big leaf maples close to the house are the usual culprits. Limbs over a roof also give squirrels and rats an easy path into attics once the weather turns cold.
Building clearance pruning trims limbs back to a safe distance from roofs, siding, and chimneys using proper cuts at the branch collar. The goal is space and airflow without topping the tree or leaving it lopsided.
Our hands-on crew plans each cut around your home and landscaping, then cleans up thoroughly before we leave, from Bellingham and Ferndale out to Lynden and Blaine.
