What Time of Year Is Best for Tree Service?

In warm regions, the best time for tree services like pruning or trimming is typically during the late fall to early winter months, when trees are in their dormant phase. This allows for healthier growth in the spring and a lowered risk of disease or pest infestation. However, certain tree maintenance, like removing dead or hazardous branches, can be done year-round to ensure safety.

When you partner with us, we’ll carefully assess your needs and recommend the optimal time to address them for the best possible results.

How Often Should You Schedule a Tree Trimming Session?

Tree trimming has the power to enhance the health, appearance, and safety of your trees. Generally, most trees benefit from trimming once a year, ideally during late winter or early spring, before new growth starts. This helps promote better airflow and sunlight exposure and reduces the risk of diseases.

For faster-growing trees or those that require shaping or safety pruning, trimming may be needed more frequently—every 6 to 12 months. Additionally, if you notice dead or damaged branches, disease symptoms, or branches that threaten nearby structures, it’s important to schedule trimming as soon as possible.

When Should You Invest in Tree Pruning Services?

Pruning helps maintain a tree's structure, encourages healthy growth, and can prevent potential safety hazards. Pruning also allows for better air circulation and sunlight penetration, which supports the tree’s vitality. Regular pruning courtesy of our team ensures that your property’s trees stay strong, safe, and attractive.

Below are some signs that indicate it’s time to schedule a pruning session for your tree:

• Dead or diseased tree branches: Branches that are dead, discolored, or showing signs of disease can be harmful to the rest of the tree and pose a safety risk if not removed.
• Too much unruly branch growth: Trees that have excessive or unbalanced growth can become top-heavy or obstruct walkways, driveways, or power lines.
• Weak or broken branches: Branches that are cracked, broken, or appear weak should be pruned to prevent them from falling and causing damage.
• Poor structure or shape: Pruning helps maintain a healthy tree structure, ensuring balanced growth and a strong framework to withstand storms.
• Obstructing view or light: If your tree is blocking sunlight or views, selective pruning can help open up space without harming the tree.

Where To Plant Trees in Your Yard?

Adding trees to your property can enhance its beauty, increase privacy, and improve environmental quality. They provide shade, reduce energy costs, and support local wildlife. Properly placed trees can transform your landscape, offering long-term benefits for both your yard and your home.

However, choosing the right spot for planting is essential to ensure their health and the overall success of your landscaping.

Here are five key factors to consider when deciding where to plant your new trees:

• Consider the tree’s size: Our tree experts make sure there’s enough space for the tree to grow to its full height and width without interfering with other plants or structures.
• Proximity to buildings and structures: We plant trees at least a few feet from buildings, fences, or walkways to avoid potential damage from roots or branches as the tree matures.
• Sunlight needs: Depending on its species and your yard's exposure, ensure the tree receives the right amount of sunlight, whether full sun or partial shade.
• Soil quality and drainage: To promote healthy root growth and prevent rot, it’s best to select a spot with well-draining soil, avoiding areas where water tends to pool.
• Avoid underground utilities: Before planting, we check for underground utilities like gas or water lines to prevent root damage and potential safety hazards.
