Question 1

I have a large tree, can you cut it down to about half the size?

Accepted Answer

We strongly discourage this! It is not according the ANSI A300 pruning standards and causes irreversible, lifelong damage to the tree.

Question 2

When is the best time to trim trees?

Accepted Answer

The ideal time varies by species but generally during the winter or early spring is the ideal time to trim and prune trees and shrubs.

Question 3

When should I not prune and trim my trees?

Accepted Answer

In the Fall.

Decay fungi spread their spores profusely and wounds close more slowly.

Shrubs and trees are often under more stress late in the summer and fall months. (drought, heat and insect)

Only very light pruning in the fall should be done. Heavy pruning puts unneeded stress on your trees and shrubs.

Question 4

Do I need to prune my new trees?

Accepted Answer

YES!

New trees almost never have a correct structure.

Invest in professional pruning on your new tree from time to time and you will invest in the future!

Young trees growing up with proper structure are safer, look nicer and last much longer!!

Get professional pruning for your young trees!

Question 5

How often should I prune my trees.

Accepted Answer

Every 3 - 5 years is generally considered a good guideline.

Depending on the tree species, age, and the desired aesthetics, it may be needed more often or can even go longer.
