Trees and shrubs are a lot like people; they need attention and care to thrive just like us. Routine preventative trimming includes the removal of damaged, diseased, or dead branches. You should cut off branches that grow outwards, have too many drooping tips or are rubbing against each other to ensure safety and health.

Each type of tree has its own natural look & shape. Pruning also helps keep trees healthy by providing them with air flow and minimizing damage in weather conditions. We have a responsibility to maintain the safety of our customers, which is why we must remove deadwood.

Tree pruning can happen any time of year, but it’s much easier to see where the work is needed in winter. When there is an exception, some species prefer to be cut back in the summer in order to reduce water sprouting. Someone from our local tree company will be happy to assess your trimming needs and make recommendations.
