Tree Trimming

Sum, Sum, Summertime Rolls

Its pretty funny, the best time to trim trees as mentioned above is in the winter time.  Of course, removals can be done anytime.  Trimming (up to 30%) can be done in summertime, but overall we encourage winter trimming.
 
When the weather is nice our phone rings, as it also does when weather is quite severe.  Most people wait until summer to tend to their yard and trees, but it is true that the end of winter is time to begin creating that perfect yard.
 
Tree trimming, pre-emergents, and other indesirable control should be applied during the last part of winter.

Winter is best!!

Its amazing.  When the weather is nice and people are outside our phone rings.  When its cold and people are indoors the phone is quiet.  Many people do not realize that wintertime is the best time to have your trees professionally trimmed and pruned.  The sap is down in the trees and they are dormant making surgery much less harmful than when the trees are in bloom.
 
The professional arborist can still recognize deadwood even when all the leaves are down.  Having your trees professionally cleaned out during the wintertime will help insure minimal damage during severe weather, greatly increase the appeal of the tree, and will have the least negative impact upon the tree.
