Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to trim my tree(s)?

In the wrong conditions, trimming your tree(s) can be disastrous; causing weakness; making them more susceptible to disease and pest infestations. Deciduous (loses leaves in the Fall) Trees: For their benefit, Deciduous trees should only be trimmed when dormant from the Fall through Winter.  Evergreens, however, can be Trimmed (as much as one-third of the green removed) all year long.

TRIMMING TYPES:

Pruning: boost fruit production, correct damage, and manage the size of your tree Bombarding: removing all branches to decrease the size of mulberry, sycamore, and ash varieties (can also be done on trees that are not recommended, but are well established)

Lacing/Thinning: taking approximately 20-30 percent of the canopy out to lessen breakage caused by excessive winds and to help maintain its natural form

Deadwood Removal:  eliminating dead limbs so wasted nutrients can strengthen green limbs, and to avoid injury or damage to anything below

Crown Reduction: to reduce the height of the canopy of the tree

Raising: cutting off low-hanging branches to clear a walkway, driveway, or structure

Skinning (palm trees): removing all residual fronds from trimming to create a cleaner look.

REMOVALS

Tree, Shrub, and Cactus, Removal: cutting the foliage and/or wood as close to the ground as possible (usually left a couple inches tall so as not to dull chainsaw blades on dirt) and hauling away the debris

Stump and Root Removal: eradicating trip hazards and nuisance roots or saplings

  1. Using a specialized machine to grind stumps and roots to a maximum depth of 10 inches (as long as there is a 3-inch clearance from any solid obstructions)
  2. Under certain circumstances, poison may be the only solution
