Tree Pruning in Kittery

Living at the gateway to Maine's coast means your trees face relentless salt spray, high winds, and fluctuating temperatures that stress limbs and accelerate decay. Two Daughters Trees & Driveways delivers complete tree trimming services—crown thinning, crown reduction, elevated canopy, artistic pruning, topping, and deadwood removal—using a 35-foot bucket truck to access hazardous limbs safely and efficiently.

Kittery's proximity to the Piscataqua River and Atlantic Ocean creates microclimates that promote rapid growth in spring and summer, followed by brittle conditions in winter. Arborists recommend biennial pruning for trees within a quarter-mile of tidal water to maintain structural integrity and reduce storm damage risk. You protect your home, vehicles, and family with proactive trimming that addresses weak unions, crossing branches, and deadwood before they fail.

From historic properties along Government Street to newer developments near Route 236, the team tailors every project to your landscape's specific needs, delivering results that improve tree health, safety, and visual appeal season after season.

Crown thinning selectively removes interior branches, reducing weight and wind resistance while preserving natural shape—critical for oaks, maples, and spruces common throughout Kittery. Crown reduction lowers overall height and spread without butchering the canopy, ideal for trees encroaching on rooflines or power lines.

Elevated canopy pruning raises lower limbs to improve clearance for vehicles, pedestrians, and sight lines at driveways and intersections. Artistic pruning shapes ornamental specimens—crabapples, dogwoods, and Japanese maples—into landscape focal points that complement New England architecture.

Topping and deadwood removal eliminate hazardous limbs before they snap during ice storms or gales. Forestry studies indicate that removing deadwood reduces liability claims by up to 65 percent in coastal residential zones.
