A Memphis homeowner had growing concerns about two willow oaks in their yard, so they reached out to Spruce Up Tree Care for help. Both trees were mostly healthy, but one had a weakened limb, and the other held quite a bit of deadwood. With storm season around the corner, they wanted to make sure nothing would come down on the roof, so the team stepped in with focused tree trimming and cabling to keep everything in place.

A Project That Needed Extra Care
The purpose of this tree-trimming and cabling visit aimed to give the willow oaks more structural support without disturbing surrounding plant materials or landscaping. To make that happen, the crew focused on careful rigging while installing the tree-cabling system on the front-yard oak. The setup offers long-term branch stabilization and adds helpful risk reduction during windy fall and winter weather.
The second willow oak, located in the backyard, needed targeted tree pruning to remove deadwood that could fall and damage nearby structures. Since space was tight, the team lowered each branch using controlled rigging. This kept the landscaping intact and made cleanup simple.
Safer Trees and Improved Canopy Shaping
By the time the work wrapped up, both willow oaks were in noticeably better condition heading into winter. The front-yard tree now has a dependable support system that lowers the chance of limb failure, and the backyard tree gained better balance after the deadwood was removed and the canopy shaping was refined.
The homeowner was glad to see how smoothly everything came together, especially considering the landscaping that needed extra care. With solid planning and steady technique, the crew delivered safe, effective results without disrupting the rest of the yard.
