FAQ

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO PRUNE MY TREES AND HOW OFTEN?

It depends on why and how you want your tree pruned; however, deadwooding, broken branch removal, and light pruning can be done anytime. Since all trees and situations are different, we always come and give you our best advice on how to maintain your tree(s).

The only important thing is to prune trees regularly once a year and not wait until it’s overdue. This way, the pruning can remain light and remove only a small portion of the canopy.

Arborist Now recommends that trees be checked often to inspect overall health and structure condition. If a structural weakness is discovered, the problem will be addressed early to avoid structural failure.
