Timing: When Is the Best Time to Have Your Trees Pruned?
While most tree pruning is best done during a tree’s dormancy in winter, there are exceptions depending on the specific circumstances. For example:
Storm Damage Pruning: This can be done year-round to remove hazardous limbs and prevent further damage.
Spring Pruning: Light pruning to remove dead limbs can be performed in spring.
Summer Pruning: Corrective pruning or deadwooding can be done during summer.
Fall Pruning: Fall is a great time to focus on hazard reduction before winter weather arrives to minimize the risk of damage from storms or heavy snowfall.
Why We Don’t Top Trees
Topping trees is a harmful practice that can cause serious damage to the tree. When a tree is topped, its branches are cut back to stubs, leaving it vulnerable to disease, pests, and structural failure. Instead of topping, we recommend one of our pruning techniques to maintain the tree’s health and beauty.

Tree Pruning FAQs
The frequency of tree pruning depends on several factors, including the tree’s species, age, health, and location. Generally, most trees benefit from regular pruning every 2-3 years. However, some trees may require more frequent pruning and others may need less. One of our certified arborists can give you a personalized recommendation based on a thorough evaluation of your trees.
While it’s tempting to tackle tree pruning yourself, it’s often recommended to hire a professional. Certified arborists have the experience, equipment, and expertise to safely prune trees while ensuring their health and longevity.
By choosing a certified arborist, you can avoid the risks associated with DIY pruning, such as accidents, improper cuts, and damage to the tree.
Improper pruning can have serious consequences for your trees, including:
- Damage to the Tree: Incorrect cuts can damage the tree’s bark, cambium (the layer just beneath the bark), or branches.
- Structural Weakness: Pruning improperly can weaken a tree’s structure.
- Disease and Pest Invasion: Wounds caused by improper pruning can serve as entry points for diseases and pests.
- Stunted Growth: Improper pruning can hinder a tree’s growth and development.
- Safety Hazards: Incorrectly pruned trees can pose a safety risk, with branches more likely to break and fall.
