What is not a good tree trimming technique?

• <div><p>Generally speaking, you’ll want to avoid flush cuts, which are cuts made as extremely close to the trunk or main branch. These cuts can weaken your tree, lower its natural defense mechanisms, and even cause decay. You’ll also want to avoid tree topping, which is the total removal of the leader and upper main branches of a tree. </p><p>Most pros will advise against either of these methods, which is why hiring a pro is often the best choice when it comes to tree trimming.</p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for trimming roots from a tree growing on the property line?

• <div><p>In the case that a tree is growing directly on your property line, the cost of maintaining the tree is shared and is the property of both owners in common. In this case, all decisions regarding the maintenance of the tree must be made jointly, and both parties must agree on a course of action. You will need to agree with your neighbor about the cutting of any roots before you carry it out, and your neighbor must also consult with you before doing any trimming. Coming to an agreement with your neighbor about any shared trees ahead of necessary trimming and maintenance will make this process much simpler.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prune evergreen conifers?

• <div><p>Not all evergreen conifers need to be pruned, but some do. Pruning pine trees is not necessary, but you can do so during June and July if you wish. On the other hand, spruce, firs, and junipers do need to be pruned from late winter to early spring.</p></div>

Q: Can a neighbor trim my tree?

• <div><p>Yes, the same rules discussed above apply to your neighbor: They can trim one of your trees as long as they&rsquo;re only cutting the portion that extends into their property. Your neighbor is not allowed to access your property without permission, nor can they cut past the property line. </p></div>

Q: Can I leave a dead tree standing?

• <div><p>Once you confirm a tree is dead, you should remove it. Dead trees eventually fall, and larger trees in particular can cause damage to rooftops, fencing, flowers, and other objects. As we mentioned, letting decayed wood stay in your yard also invites risks to the surrounding landscaping and vegetation.</p></div>
