Tree Pruning Questions
How much does tree pruning cost?
It depends on how many trees you have, how big they are, and how much work they need. The estimate is free.
How often should trees be pruned?
It depends on the tree. We'll tell you the best timing for yours when we come out.
When is the best time of year to prune?
Late winter is best for most trees. Dead or dangerous branches should come down as soon as you see them.
Will pruning hurt my tree?
No, not when it's done right. Good cuts heal well. Bad cuts or cutting too much can harm a tree, so we take care to get it right.
Do you clean up afterwards?
Yes. Cleanup is included on every job.
Are you insured?
Yes. We're fully insured on every job.
