Tree Service in Kaysville, UT

Kaysville was the first city incorporated in Davis County, in 1868, and Tree Service in Kaysville today mostly means family yards. Census figures put the owner-occupied rate at about 89 percent, with roughly 3.6 people per household, among the highest in the region. Yards get used hard, trees get big, and people plan to stay long enough to care how those trees look in twenty years.

A city with its own power department

Kaysville runs its own power department, so for many homes the utility is the city rather than Rocky Mountain Power. Your power bill tells you which one serves your address. If a tree is growing into a line, contact the city's power department before any work happens. We stay out of the line-clearance zone and take care of the rest: crown thinning, deadwood, clearance over roofs and removals.

A record London planetree

The Utah Big Tree Directory lists Kaysville as the location of its largest recorded London planetree, along with its largest Freeman maple and flowering dogwood. London planetree is a long-lived, large shade tree that handles city conditions well, but it gets very large and sheds bark and seed balls. If you have one, it probably needs clearance pruning every few years more than anything else.

A learning resource in town

Kaysville is home to the USU Botanical Center, which serves as a Utah State University Extension location. It is a good place to see what grows well in this part of the Wasatch Front before you replant after a removal.

What Kaysville yards usually need

• Clearance pruning over roofs, driveways and play areas
• Thinning large maples and planetrees to reduce wind and snow load
• Removal of declining spruce and pine planted too close to homes
• Stump grinding so lawns, gardens or patios can go where a tree stood
• Cleanup after canyon wind events, which the east-bench cities of Davis County are known for

Snow, wind and big crowns

The large trees that families value in Kaysville, maples, planetrees, lindens and spruce, carry a lot of weight in wet spring snow and catch a lot of wind in canyon wind events. Dense crowns that have never been thinned are the ones that lose big limbs. Pruning to ANSI A300 standards removes deadwood, opens the interior so wind passes through, and shortens the longest limbs without topping the tree. Most large shade trees benefit from that kind of visit every three to five years.
