The Best Time to Prune Trees in Tulsa
While we offer our tree pruning services year-round, different kinds of pruning are best in different seasons. Tailor your pruning schedule to what kind of pruning work you want us to do. Typical pruning in each season includes:
Spring: We typically prune spring-flowering ornamentals as soon as they finish blooming in the spring.
Summer: Summer is an excellent time to prune and shape your tree, as you can see what it looks like when it is fully leafed out.
Fall: Limit your fall pruning to removing dead and diseased material, as pruning can spur new growth that won’t survive the winter.
Winter: Save your major pruning jobs for the winter when the tree is dormant, and diseases won’t be able to enter through the wounds.

DIY Pruning is Dangerous; Leave it to the Experts
While it may not seem as obviously dangerous as something like tree removal, tree pruning is very dangerous, especially when handled by a layperson. Every year, many people are injured throughout the country trying to save a few bucks handling pruning on their own. They may fall from a ladder while pruning high branches or a branch unexpectedly falls on them and injures them.
Not only is DIY pruning dangerous to you, but it also can harm your trees. Making cuts at the wrong point or pruning too much will damage your tree and won’t provide the typical pruning benefits.

The Benefits of Pruning for Your Tulsa Trees
Many Tulsa homeowners don’t understand just how helpful pruning is for their trees. Some of the benefits of pruning include:
Better air circulation and light penetration to get light to lower portions of the tree
Reduced risk of branches breaking off in a storm
Making a tree more aerodynamically sound to avoid failure in a storm
Increasing the life expectancy of trees
Better aesthetics
Pruning is an investment for your trees and something that is worth having a professional perform regularly.

FAQs
There’s no exact schedule to keep with your trees for pruning, but, in general, mature trees can benefit from pruning every 3-5 years. Newly planted trees can benefit from more frequent pruning.
Yes! While most homeowners can handle pruning small trees without injuring themselves, every year, people are injured trying to prune large trees without the proper training and equipment.
When done correctly, pruning your trees will cause minor stress to a tree, but it will quickly recover from the cuts. Improper pruning techniques can cause long-term damage to a tree.
Depending on the size of the tree, we may climb into the canopy to remove branches or use our bucket truck to reach high branches. We may use pole saws, loppers, or chainsaws to trim branches, depending on their size.
