Why trim

An overgrown mesquite is a sail in a monsoon.

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.

Ready when you areBranches over the roof, blocking the walk or ready to snap in the next monsoon? CGL Landscaping handles tree trimming in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and across the East Valley, with clean cuts that keep the tree healthy. Book a free on-site estimate or call (480) 219-0038.

What a trim covers
What we trim

From parking lot islands to backyard palms.

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.

01

Parking lot islands and frontages kept clear of cars, signs and foot traffic.

02

Palm trimming

Dead fronds, seed stalks and old boots cleared so the palm looks clean again.

03

Mesquite and palo verde

Thinned and shaped so the fast growth does not turn into a split trunk.

04

Roof and wall clearance

Limbs cut back from the roofline, gutters and block walls.

05

Citrus and fruit trees

A lighter hand, so you keep the fruiting wood and still get air through the tree.

06

Torn and hanging limbs cut clean after a monsoon blows through.

Several trees on the property?

We can quote them all on one visit and trim them the same day, where the schedule allows.

Before we cut

We agree on the cuts before the saw starts.

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 trim

How a trim goes, start to finish.

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.

01

Look it over

We check the canopy, trunk and what the tree hangs over.

02

Mark the plan

You see which limbs come out and how much.

03

Dead wood first

Broken, dead and rubbing branches removed.

04

Thin and raise

Crown opened up and lifted to clear the yard.

05

Clean up

Cuttings hauled and the ground raked out.

Green grass lawn with flowering oleanders along a backyard wall
Around the tree

A trimmed tree still needs water and upkeep.

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.

What it costs

Why two trims rarely cost the same.

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.

Height and spread

A tall tree takes climbing or a ladder and more time on every cut.

How overgrown it is

A tree trimmed last year is lighter work than one left for five.

What sits below

Limbs over a roof, pool or wall have to come down in small pieces.

Number of trees

Trimming several trees in one trip brings the cost per tree down.

The quote lists each tree and what we are doing to it.
What neighbors say

How Chandler homeowners rate their trim work.

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.

Slick landscaping did a great job transforming our yard. Zach was professional and kept us updated throughout the process. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. They completed everything quickly and efficiently. The final result looked clean and well done. Communication was excellent the whole time. I would definitely use them again.

Best landscapers I’ve ever had! I live in an HOA with very strict rules and they did an absolutely fabulous job. So thankful to have found them. Each of their employees are extremely hard working and even go above and beyond wiping off patio furniture and making every part of the front/backyard presentable. Can’t wait to see them again!

We’ve been working with CGL for nearly a year now, and they’ve been incredible. They helped us get our irrigation system back on track after our previous landscaper severely dropped the ball. Additionally, anytime we had an emergency leak, they were on-site within a few hours at most. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work have been outstanding. It's also nice to work with someone like Jose and can answer all of your questions and explain everything in such detail to ensure you understand the issue(s) at hand. Highly recommend!

I recently hired CGL Landscaping for sod installation at my home in Phoenix, and they did a fantastic job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They prepared the soil and installed high-quality, lush sod that transformed my yard. CGL Landscaping's attention to detail and customer service set them apart. They ensured proper irrigation, provided aftercare instructions, and even followed up to check on the sod's progress. The project was completed on time and within the estimated timeframes Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with CGL Landscaping. Their commitment to quality and outstanding customer service have earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs in the Phoenix area.

CGL Landscaping has been great to work with. We reached out to Jose to get an estimate for a one time clean up and monthly service. Jose and Alan showed up the next day to provide an estimate for both services. We elected to move forward with CGL and the clean up crew was out the following day to complete services. Two weeks later, the monthly maintenance crew showed up to complete our first monthly service. Invoicing and payment is easy through an online portal. Jose and Alan were both responsive throughout the process and were accessible via text, email or phone call. So far we are very pleased with our services through CGL and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping services.

CGL landscaping made the process super easy from start to finish. Jose came out quickly to give me a proposal and I got it the same day. Scheduling was also very easy, and my project was done on time. Would recommend CGL to anyone if you’re looking for great work and great customer service.

I used to use another landscaping company and they never did the job right, along with that the communication was not there, never got returned calls and it was impossible to reach someone. Then I found CGL Landscaping. They were quick to come out for a free estimate and communication was always and still there. One of the office workers, Alan, is always there to answer and if he doesn't, he is quick to respond. Thank you CGL for 3 great years and many more to come!

SUPER TOP NOTCH COMPANY Best experience, Jose was kind and understanding of my situation. I had LNR landscaping put in synthetic turf in my front yard, did a horrible job. After months of trying to get them to come back, after they’ve been paid in full to fix it. They stopped returning phone calls , never kept set appointments to come and fix it. I called Jose and they blew me away, they came right away, crew was all friendly and got the job done quickly. They went above and beyond I was just thinking they to fix what was there but the job was so bad they removed it all and replaced the whole area. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Jose and team that came today you made my nightmare a beauty that I can now enjoy when I walk out my door.

I worked with Jose and his team and found them to be professional, courteous and trustworthy. My yard looks amazing. Jose was patient with me as I made a few changes from my original design. The trees they planted are looking healthy as well as the flower bed, Jose offered to provided care to my front yard and it turned out awesome. He also offered to made a nice area for my dog it turned out great. My plan is to continue with CGL Landscaping for maintenance. Thank you Jose for a job well done. Linda Coolidge, AZ

I rarely, if ever, write reviews let alone give someone a 5-star rating unless they REALLY deserve it. We interviewed 4 landscaping companies before we selected Creative Green Landscaping. We chose them because they were very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jose (the owner) made it clear that our satisfaction was their number one goal. He definitely followed through and they did a beautiful job. They started the work immediately and throughout the project they showed up early and stayed late. They worked hard and provided quality work. When we decided last minute to make changes, they were flexible and helpful. We have had our fair share of negative contractor experiences, so we appreciate good and honest firms like Creative Green Landscaping. We highly recommend them for your project.
Questions

Trimming questions we hear.

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.

Where we work

Tree trimming across Chandler and the East Valley.

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.

Types of trims

Not every tree gets the same cut.

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.

/01

Crown thinning

Select branches removed through the canopy so light and air can move through it.

/02

Crown raising

Lower limbs taken off to clear roofs, sidewalks, driveways and signs.

/03

Crown reduction

Overall size brought down to take strain off the trunk and keep it off the house.

/04

Crown cleaning

Dead, dying and diseased wood cut out to keep the tree healthy and safe.

TRIM
By the numbers

Trimmed by the crew that knows your yard.

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.
