Pruning - is one of the most important of all tree maintenance practices. Well pruned trees are healthier, safer, and live longer.
The goals of pruning are:
Cycle Pruning - to maximize efficiency, is done on a rotating cycle. Defined geographical areas are pruned every 6 years (mature trees) & 3 years (young trees). This work occurs year-round, but most is completed during the winter.
If you would like to see when your tree is scheduled for pruning, you can find your zone here: Forestry Zone Map and the pruning schedule here: Pruning Schedule
Off Cycle Pruning - we also conduct 'off-cycle' pruning to address pruning needs that can't wait until the scheduled cycle pruning. Off-cycle pruning is usually limited to high priority needs such as very low branches, branches touching homes, branches blocking street lights or traffic signals, or removal of large dead or dangerous branches. Most off-cycle pruning occurs between April and October.
If you think your tree cannot wait for scheduled cycle pruning, contact our office and request an inspection.
