Question 1

Does Trimming Trees Keep Healthy?

Accepted Answer

There are many reasons why pruning a tree is important. First, pruning a tree can influence what way the tree grows. With proper pruning, a tree can grow into a certain configuration of limbs and branches that is ideal for the tree’s structural integrity. Maintaining the tree’s structure helps mitigate the risk of broken limbs and falling branches.

A properly pruned tree will not have compromising branch structures and improper weight distribution that could lead to disaster later on in the tree’s life. Structural pruning can also greatly improve the general look of the tree. If aesthetics are important to you, proper pruning can make a tree grow in the desired fashion.

Question 2

When to Prune Your Tree?

Accepted Answer

Remember, it’s important that any pruning (other than emergency branch removal) be done in late fall or winter, during the dormant season. During this time, the tree is least susceptible to harm that may result from pruning. However, trees are susceptible to stress just like any other creature, and removing their branches does cause damage to the tree.

However, when the tree is dormant, less sap is lost, and since they are dormant, insects and fungi are less likely to damage the tree further. In addition, certain trees require more precise trimming and different approaches for proper pruning. If you’re ever in doubt, contact a certified arborist instead of risking both the tree’s safety and your own.

Question 3

How Often Should You Trim Your Tree?

Accepted Answer

The certified arborist Tree Service can help you determine how often an individual tree should be trimmed. It depends in every case, but here are some general guidelines to go by:

Most mature trees of any variety can be trimmed every 3-5 years.
Most younger trees should be trimmed every 2-3 years.
Fruit trees can be pruned every year to help produce better quality and larger fruit.
Evergreen trees can go many years without needing a single cut.

Question 4

When Should You Not Trim Trees?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is never to trim more than 30% of live tissue from a tree. Removing more than that can damage the tree and result in disease or pest infestation. If a tree has had around 30% of its foliage removed either by trimming or storm damage in a year, you shouldn’t trim that tree any further.

It’s also damaging to trim a tree immediately after sprouting the leaves. The tree has put a lot of energy into growing those leaves, which are power plants, and expects to receive energy in return all year long to store in its roots. Then, trimming the tree can severely reduce the energy the tree can store over winter.

Question 5

How Do I Choose a Tree Trimming Company?

Accepted Answer

Talk to people you know and respect.

You know people who also own their own homes. Talk to them about who they have brought in to work on their trees and landscaping. It is a well-known fact in marketing that word of mouth advertising can be very effective. One of the best ways to find a good company or service is to get personal recommendations. This can get you started with a few good names to look into.

Get at least three quotes.

When anyone starts a new project, it can feel overwhelming, and then it is easy to just go with the first company that has tree stump removal equipment. The problem with this approach is that you need to get a few estimates to know your price options. If you talk to at least three different experts, you can make a more educated decision.

Do not let price pick the company or person you hire. Another reason it is good to have three quotes rather than just one is you can see how different the prices are. Some companies charge a lot more for their services because they think people think they need to pay a lot. Other contractors will give very low estimates, which may cost more in the long run. Having a minimum of three options can give you a more accurate idea of this should cost.

Get detailed quotes in writing.

When comparing and contrasting different estimates, it is always easier to do if you have everything in writing. You can also get a better sense of how much you are paying and what. This can also help you avoid surprise charges when the job is complete.

Check their certification.

This is a ‘trust but verify approach. When dealing with bigger projects, such as using stump removal equipment, you want someone who has taken the time to get certified. This means they also take the job they do more seriously.

Ask about their insurance, equipment, and safety policies.

When you have people on your property using large items such as tree stump removal equipment, you need to be even more particular about these things. Never hire anyone who does not provide their people with hard hats and protection for their ears and eyes. By the same token, if the company or contractor you hire does not have the right insurance, it could cost you. This could happen if someone is injured working in your home.

Make sure your questions are all answered.

You will have questions about how long the project will take and how much your life will be disrupted, to name two. Before you hire anyone to work at or around your home, you should make sure they are willing to answer all of your questions. You can learn a lot about how a company or contractor cares about their customers by the way they treat you before you sign on the bottom line.
