Trimming & Pruning FAQs

Every landscape is different, and it all depends on what your goals are.

Upon arriving, we’ll do a thorough assessment of the trees that require trimming or pruning, speak with you about any landscaping goals or challenges you’ve been facing, and create a plan from there.

All of the trimming and pruning we do is performed with industry-leading safety practices, as well as the utmost care for your property.

No, we don’t top trees. Topping trees is a practice that some companies use to cut corners and save time, but unfortunately, it’s very bad for the trees. It’s a cheap solution to a problem of an overgrown tree, but it can permanently damage the tree, resulting in improper or stunted growth, susceptibility to pests and disease, and can even kill the tree.

We cut, trim, and prune trees sustainably, ensuring that we never shock the system, encouraging the best possible long-term health.

Many people use these terms interchangeably, but there is a technical difference. To keep it relatively simple, the difference comes down to this:

  • Tree trimming is more concerned with removing leaves and branches for reasons related to cosmetics or safety. If your tree is overgrown and you want it to look a certain way in the near-term, you most likely want trimming.
  • Tree pruning is often done with a long-term objective, promoting growth in a certain way or correcting a structural defect. The short-term appearance of the tree is less of a goal than its long-term well-being.

If you’re not sure whether you need trimming or pruning, no problem – give us a call and we’ll be happy to talk to you about it.
