Tree Trimming & Pruning Services
Expert pruning for shade trees, ornamental trees and shrubs, from the crew at We Care Tree Service.
Healthier Trees and Limbs Off the Roof
Overgrown, dead or broken branches make a tree look rough and put your roof, gutters and car at risk. We Care Tree Service provides an expert tree trimming service for homes and businesses, and it's one of our core tree services. Our tree trimming in Indianapolis keeps trees strong, safe and good-looking, with branches cut for the tree's health and your home's clearance instead of hacked back.
Benefits of Regular Tree Trimming
- Better tree health. Removing dead, diseased or weak branches lets the tree put energy into strong growth.
- Safer yard. Fewer limbs waiting to fall on people, cars and roofs.
- Clearance. Branches kept off the house, the driveway and nearby wires.
- Stronger in storms. A well-pruned canopy lets wind through instead of catching it like a sail.
- Curb appeal. A tree with good shape makes the whole property look cared for.

Ornamental Tree & Shrub Pruning
Not every job is a big oak. We also prune ornamental trees and shrubs: the flowering trees by the front walk, the hedges along the driveway, the shrubs that have swallowed a window. Smaller plants still need the right cuts in the right places, so they keep their shape and don't end up looking sheared.
Signs You Need a Tree Trimming Company
- Branches are rubbing the roof or hanging over the house.
- You can see dead, broken or hanging limbs.
- The tree looks lopsided, overgrown or misshapen.
- Low branches block the sidewalk, driveway or the view from the street.
- The canopy is so dense that the lawn below won't grow.

Still wondering? Call or text (317) 224-8765
When is the best time to trim trees?
For many trees, late winter while they're dormant is a good window: you can see the branch structure and the tree heals as it wakes up. Dead, broken or dangerous limbs shouldn't wait for any season, though. Those can come off any time of year.
Do you prune ornamental trees and shrubs?
Yes. Flowering trees, small ornamentals, hedges and shrubs are all part of our trimming work.
How often should trees be trimmed?
It depends on the tree, its age and how close it is to the house. Young trees benefit from shaping early on, while mature trees usually need attention less often. We'll give you an honest opinion when we look at yours.
Can you trim branches over my roof?
Yes. We cut overhanging limbs back so they don't scrape shingles, fill gutters or fall on the house in a storm.
Will trimming hurt my tree?
Not when it's done right. Proper cuts in the right spots help a tree stay healthy. Topping a tree or stripping too much at once can stress it, and we avoid that. Thinking about trimming trees in winter? Read why to trim your trees before the storms hit.
