Why tree trimming?
Hillsborough's mature hardwoods need regular pruning to stay healthy, safe, and looking their best. We trim for:
- Deadwood & safety — removing dead, broken, or hazardous limbs before they fall.
- Crown thinning — opening the canopy for light and airflow without changing the tree's natural shape.
- Clearance — raising low limbs off roofs, driveways, and walkways.
- Crown reduction — carefully reducing size over time (never topping, which harms the tree).
- Structure & recovery — restoring shape on storm-damaged or previously-topped trees.
How our tree trimming works
We tailor every pruning cut to the tree's species, structure, and the right season — working carefully on Hillsborough's older, established lots to protect your property:
- We assess the tree's species, health, and structure to plan the right cuts.
- We remove deadwood and any broken or hazardous limbs first.
- We thin, raise, or reduce the canopy as needed — never taking too much at once.
- We make clean cuts at the right points so the tree can seal and recover.
- We avoid topping and climbing spikes, which damage trees and invite decay.
- We clean up and haul off the trimmings when the job's done.

A good tree person is hard to find and we couldn't be happier with Brown's Arbor Care. Jared is very knowledgeable and he and his team are very responsive and professional. When trimming or taking down trees they take great care to lessen impact to surrounding trees and clean up all debris. Jared clearly has a love for the natural environment, freely shares what he knows and takes the time to answer all your questions. I have used Brown's Arbor Care several times and have enthusiastically recommended them to friends and family. Everyone has been very happy with Jared's services. In addition, he's honest and his prices are very competitive. Look no further for your Tree Guy!

Jared and team are my new go-to for any arbor care. We've had 2 trees removed by Brown's Arbor Care, and both times they did a great job caring for the house, surrounding trees, and the yard, taking great care in how they dropped branches and took the trees down. Jared has been a pleasure to work with; he's responsive to messages, and I get the impression that he really cares for the health of the trees and wants to see them thrive. I requested quotes from multiple companies, and Brown's Arbor Care provided the best value and were reasonably priced. I would highly recommend Jared and Brown's Arbor Care!

Jared and his team removed a huge white oak that was located very close to my home. In fact, the previous owners built the back deck around it! Jared's climbing and rigging skills insured that my house and yard weren't damaged during the removal. His team stacked the felled wood according to my wishes and even gave me some tips on hiring a mobile saw mill. The price for the work was fair and competitive with other popular tree services in the area. I will absolutely be using this business for all of my preventative trimming in the future.

When I first bought my home in the woods, I called Brown's Arbor Care to come inspect the trees and help manage them going forward. It's been 7 years now of working together and I'm so grateful for all of Jared's expertise and the work he and his team have done to keep my trees healthy and my structures safe. I always learn something new when they come out and I always finish a job feeling like the work was done with great care and at a fair price. I cannot recommend them strongly enough!

Brown's Arbor Care is a local crew with amazing skills. Jared’s technique is to climb and remove trees without expensive and disruptive heavy equipment. The nearby smaller trees were protected from damage while larger trees where removed. The crew is very clean and cleared away all parts of the tree. Jared is a very knowledgeable arborist and evaluated all the trees on my lot. I would not hesitate to call on him again to maintain the trees in my yard.

Amazing professional work done at such an affordable price! Jared was incredibly knowledgeable and mindful of the trees we wanted/needed to come down, and the best way to make it happen. He was minimally invasive and did not cause any collateral damage to our yard or other trees. I highly recommend Jared and his crew-very trustworthy and professional.
