Desert trees put on a lot of growth in a single season. When the canopy gets dense, summer storm wind has nothing to pass through and the tree either drops limbs or goes over.
Thinning it opens the crown, takes weight off the long branches and lets light reach the inside of the tree. Regular tree trimming in Chandler is the cheapest protection a mesquite or palo verde can get before monsoon season.

Six kinds of trimming jobs we take on around Chandler and the East Valley. Each one calls for a different amount of cutting.
A velvet mesquite, a Mexican fan palm and a backyard lemon tree all respond to pruning in their own way. We match the cut to the tree instead of giving every canopy the same haircut.
Parking lot islands and frontages kept clear of cars, signs and foot traffic.
Dead fronds, seed stalks and old boots cleared so the palm looks clean again.
Thinned and shaped so the fast growth does not turn into a split trunk.
Limbs cut back from the roofline, gutters and block walls.
A lighter hand, so you keep the fruiting wood and still get air through the tree.
We can quote them all on one visit and trim them the same day, where the schedule allows.
A trim is easy to overdo and impossible to undo. We stand under the tree with you, show you which limbs come out and how high the canopy gets raised, and write it into the quote.
If you are in an HOA, bring up any landscape rules on tree height or sidewalk clearance and we will trim to them. It is also the time to point out branches rubbing the roof, the fence or a neighbor’s wall.
The order matters. Taking the dead wood out first shows you what the tree really looks like before any live wood gets cut.
Our crews use hand saws, pole saws and chainsaws depending on the size of the limb, and each cut is made just outside the branch collar so the wound can close over. No topping and no flush cuts.
We check the canopy, trunk and what the tree hangs over.
You see which limbs come out and how much.
Broken, dead and rubbing branches removed.
Crown opened up and lifted to clear the yard.
Cuttings hauled and the ground raked out.
Trimming takes care of the canopy. The roots still depend on steady deep watering, and the shrubs under the tree still need shaping.
We handle both, so the tree is not the only thing that looks sharp. If a trim shows a tree is too far gone, removal and stump grinding are one call away.
Trimming is priced tree by tree after we see them. These four things make the biggest difference.
A yearly trim on a healthy palo verde is a small job. A mesquite that has gone three or four summers without pruning, hanging over a roof in Chandler, is a much bigger one.
A tall tree takes climbing or a ladder and more time on every cut.
A tree trimmed last year is lighter work than one left for five.
Limbs over a roof, pool or wall have to come down in small pieces.
Trimming several trees in one trip brings the cost per tree down.
Google reviews from customers in Chandler, Gilbert and around the East Valley who have trusted CGL Landscaping with their yards. Read a few before you book your visit.
A good trim is hard to spot, because the tree simply looks natural and healthy. What people remember is whether the crew listened, cut what was agreed and cleaned up properly.
If your tree is not covered here, ask when we come out to look at it. There is no cost for that trip.
These are the tree trimming questions Chandler homeowners ask most. They cover timing, monsoon prep, palms and how much of the canopy should come off.
Late winter is best for most trees, right before the spring growth push. Dead or hanging limbs can come out any time of year.
Yes, for mesquite and palo verde especially. Thinning in late spring takes weight off the canopy before the summer storms arrive.
Only what the tree needs. We avoid stripping out the inside of the canopy or topping it, because both weaken the tree and cause messy regrowth.
Yes. We remove dead fronds, seed stalks and old frond bases and leave the healthy green crown in place.
They leave with us. We load them out, rake the area and blow off the hardscape before we leave.
Fast desert growers usually need it every year or two. Slower shade trees and citrus can go longer. We will tell you what your trees need when we see them.
Trimming crews out of Chandler, working in Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Queen Creek and Ahwatukee. We also take on trimming jobs in San Tan Valley.
Across Maricopa County the same trees show up again and again: mesquite, palo verde, ironwood and palms. We know how each one grows in the Sonoran Desert heat and trim them to hold up through summer storms.
Which cut we use depends on the tree and what you need from it. Most jobs use a mix of these four.
Thinning and cleaning are the everyday cuts for desert trees. Raising and reduction come in when a canopy is over a roof, a driveway or a busy sidewalk, and we would rather do them in stages than take too much at once.
Select branches removed through the canopy so light and air can move through it.
Lower limbs taken off to clear roofs, sidewalks, driveways and signs.
Overall size brought down to take strain off the trunk and keep it off the house.
Dead, dying and diseased wood cut out to keep the tree healthy and safe.
We are a family business in Chandler. The people trimming your trees work for us directly, and they clean up after themselves like it is their own yard.
If we already maintain your yard, we see your trees every visit and can flag a problem limb before a storm finds it. That steady attention is what keeps a desert tree in shape.
Book a free visit. We will look at the canopy, show you what should come out and give you a written price.
Late winter is the best window for most Chandler trees, and late spring is the last chance before monsoon season. Call CGL Landscaping or send the form to get on the schedule.
