How often should trees be pruned?
For most tree species that require general pruning, a good rule of thumb is every 3-5 years. However, if you have specific aesthetic goals or want to enhance the tree’s longevity, annual pruning is recommended. Regular maintenance helps keep your trees healthy and beautiful!
Do we have certified arborists?
Most definitely! We employ several certified arborists, including our owner, our sales team, and our crew leaders.

When is the best time to trim a tree?
The best time to trim a tree is typically during its dormant season, which is late fall or winter. Trimming during this time minimizes sap loss and reduces stress on the tree, lowering the risk of pests and diseases. However, the ideal timing can vary based on the type of cut and the tree species, so it’s important to consider these factors for the tree’s health and longevity.
However, the optimal timing can vary depending on the type of cut needed and the specific species of the tree. Adjusting the timing based on these factors can be more effective for the tree’s overall health and lifespan.
How many roots can be removed on a tree without damaging it?
A general guideline is to avoid removing more than 20-30% of a tree’s roots to prevent serious damage. Excessive root removal can lead to instability and hinder the tree’s ability to absorb water and nutrients. Symptoms of root loss might not appear for five years or more, so it’s crucial to evaluate carefully and minimize disturbance to ensure the tree’s health. Additionally, there are treatments that can be performed a month before root pruning or removal, which can reduce stress on the tree and improve its chances of survival.
Do we only remove trees?
Absolutely not! Our topmost priority is to make sure that we have a healthy and diverse urban canopy of trees. We technically have the highest dedication to saving and caring for trees wherever possible. Although we do remove trees if there is a need for it, be it for safety reasons or when a tree has developed so much disease that recovery isn’t possible, we provide a wide array of services focused on maintaining the health of your trees. Care for tree health remains one of the biggest parts of our job, and we try to use all other possible variants before removing the tree.
