TIMING IS EVERYTHING: WHEN TO TRIM?

Knowing when to prune is just as important as knowing how. A well-timed cut promotes rapid healing, while a poorly-timed one can stress the tree or invite disease.

​

The Gold Standard: Dormant Season

​

For most species, late winter or early spring is the "Compulsive" window for pruning. Because the tree is dormant, it loses less sap and is less attractive to pests. This timing allows the tree to put all its energy into a flush of healthy new growth as soon as spring arrives.

Key Factors We Consider:

  • Species-Specific Needs: Deciduous trees like Oaks and Maples require dormant-season care to thrive. Conversely, evergreens like Pines and Spruces are more flexible but benefit from strategic timing to manage their shape.

​

  • Tree Vitality & Health: If a branch is dead, diseased, or storm-damaged, the "best time" is immediately. Removing these hazards early prevents decay from spreading and protects the rest of the canopy.

​

  • Structural Safety: When branches begin to interfere with utility lines, roofs, or footpaths, we prioritize safety. We can perform structural "reduction cuts" year-round to keep your property compliant and safe.

​

 

The Compulsive Tip: While dormant pruning is ideal for the tree's biology, we are equipped to provide corrective pruning at any time of year if a tree poses a risk to your home or family.
