A Plus trimmed trees today here at Rancho Solano for our HOA. Kyle, the arborist, worked on an Oak tree on a hillside here and did an outstanding job. He left no nubs, the tree was thinned properly and he worked efficiently. Loved his knowledge and competence. Highly recommend.

Proper Tree Trimming & Tree Pruning Is Both Science & Art

Tree trimming and tree pruning are skills that require a balance of both scientific knowledge and artistic skill. Science is vital in understanding tree biology, growth patterns, and the effect of pruning on overall health. Knowledge of proper techniques, timing, and potential risks is also crucial to keep trees and people safe. On the other hand, the art lies in shaping the tree to enhance its aesthetic appeal while maintaining structural integrity. Our skilled Arborists perform the appropriate pruning technique for your tree and property to ensure tree health, safety, and beauty.

Tree Pruning vs Tree Trimming…What’s the difference?

These terms are often used interchangeably and that is generally acceptable, but there is a difference. We refer to pruning as the removal of dead, diseased, or structurally compromised branches. Tree trimming can be thought of as controlling or cutting back overgrown trees. Trimming is also more widely used to describe landscape care on shrubs and bushes. Both are horticultural terms, but oftentimes require different equipment and different times for implementation.

The Best Time To Prune Trees

People often wonder, what’s the best time to prune trees? The answer depends on your desired goals for pruning. If the tree has dead, damaged, or otherwise structurally compromised parts, the best time to prune is now! It’s safer and more efficient to be proactive and remove hazardous branches before they cause damage. In general, trees can be pruned year round, provided that safe, professional pruning standards are adhered to.

But here are some benefits of pruning by season. Spring and summer pruning coincides with active tree growth and bloom. Pruning at this time means the canopy can be pruned to remove active pests or disease and to slow down growth of fast-growing trees. Fall and winter pruning coincides with dormancy for many tree species. Pruning at this time preps for winter storms, gives pruning cuts more time to heal before the growing season, and can be more efficient because branches are bare.

What’s The Cost Of Tree Trimming & Branch Removal?

The cost varies with tree size, amount of trimming or pruning required, and accessibility of the tree’s location. Larger trees and more thorough, detailed pruning take more time and therefore, will cost more. Trees in tight locations may require rigging, climbing, or special equipment to access and to prevent branches from branches on surrounding property. Contact us for a free assessment!

FAQs

Proper pruning promotes tree health and longevity, which reduces potential safety hazards and liabilities. In addition, well-pruned trees improve overall aesthetics, creating an attractive landscape, raising the property’s curb appeal and thus, its market value.

Tree pruning improves tree health by removing dead or diseased branches, allowing for better air circulation and sunlight penetration. This encourages development of a strong and well-structured canopy, reduces risk of infections, and improves resilience against pests.

The ideal pruning frequency depends on tree species, size, and location. For example, fast-growing trees in tighter spaces require more constant pruning to manage size. Trees prone to branch breakage may need to be assessed and pruned before every storm season. As a general rule-of-thumb, aim to have your trees assessed and pruned on an annual cycle.
