Tree trimming and pruning in Salt Lake City
Good pruning keeps trees healthy and safe: removing dead or crossing branches, raising the canopy and thinning for light and wind. Bad pruning, like topping, weakens trees for years.

Salt Lake winters bring snow, inversions and plenty of freeze-thaw, and driveways and walks see a lot of de-icing salt.
Trees in the park strip between the sidewalk and the street are city-owned in Salt Lake City. Pruning or removing one by a private company needs a permit from SLC Urban Forestry first, (801) 972-7818.
The city treats removal of a healthy park strip tree as a last resort, and sidewalk damage alone isn't accepted as a reason. Trees on your own property are yours to manage.
Common questions
When is the best time to prune?
Late winter, while trees are dormant, suits most species. Dead or dangerous branches can come off any time.
Should my tree be topped?
No. Topping causes weak regrowth and decay. A certified arborist will recommend proper reduction cuts instead.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask whether the quote includes grinding and hauling away the wood.
