 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeremiah provided excellent service when we urgently needed an arborist to evaluate a tree leaning toward our house that was actually on our neighbor’s property. He was very professional, friendly, and came out quickly to inspect the tree. He provided us with a written report that we could give to the property owner, along with an estimate for removing the tree. We truly appreciate his promptness, professionalism, and helpfulness. Excellent service—I highly recommend Jeremiah!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeremiah was great! He came out to evaluate a tree for us and then looked at every tree in our yard while he was there. He went over and above for us and we will definitely be calling him when we need tree service in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with the whole process from first contact to quote to completion. Jeremiah was able to come same-day to take a look, assess needs, and make recommendations. The work was scheduled within a few days and completed quickly and competently. Both he and his crew were a pleasure to work with and were respectful of our property and our neighbors. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On a Friday night at around midnight, a very large, healthy looking water oak split in half and landed on my roof. There was clearly significant roof damage with one broken limb coming through a bedroom ceiling. I settled on Gateway because they had considerably more recommendations in my local Facebook group than others. In less than 24 hours, the crew with a crane had removed the tree and secured the roof with tarps. I could not have been happier with their service and professionalism. They will be used for all my tree service in the future.

Our Expert Tree Trimming and Pruning Services

Gateway Tree Service provides comprehensive tree trimming solutions to keep your trees healthy, safe, and visually appealing. Our services are available for both residential and commercial properties.

Crown Trimming

We shorten selected branches to reduce height and balance weight. This allows better sunlight penetration and improved air circulation. Your yard will look well-kept and more inviting.

Deadwood Removal

Removing deadwood prevents disease and decay from spreading to healthy parts of the tree. This reduces safety risks and helps avoid full tree removal, making it a more affordable solution.

Canopy Thinning

Our tree surgeons carefully remove excess interior limbs. With proper planning, we improve light and airflow while reducing wind resistance. This also promotes healthier growth.

Crown Reduction

We selectively shorten branches to control height and rebalance weight. This improves sunlight access, airflow, and overall tree structure while maintaining a natural appearance.

Fruit Tree Pruning

Fruit tree pruning is best performed during the dormant season. We remove weak growth and improve sunlight and airflow to enhance fruit quality, yield, and long-term tree health.
