How to Trim and Prune Trees in Your Yard
When trimming the trees in your yard, use pruning shears to remove smaller branches, and a pruning saw or chain saw for large limbs. Start by taking off the bulk of the weight near the end of the branch in three-foot sections, so your last cut near the truck will not split and damage the trunk of the tree.

    Just remember your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)- Safety glasses (always) and others depending on what equipment you are using. If you are using a chainsaw, you will need the following:
    - Safety Glasses
    - Hearing Protection
    - Chaps (Chainsaw protection)
    - Hard Hat
    - Boots (preferably steel toe)
    - and proper training and experience

    Chainsaws can be very dangerous, and kickback occurs at lightning speed. Be careful. Don’t be too proud to take a safety course and wear all the proper PPE.
