"Rigging tree Service cut down a few trees for us and ground the stumps and they also limbed up the trees overhanging our historic building. They were very professional and rigged everything, so nothing hit or damaged our historic buildings and they were very thorough with cleanup. I highly recommend them for any of your tree services!!"

"I have to say they were very nice to work with. When they came out to give me a quote they were very professional. I told them what I needed to have done then we discussed other options which made it a lot better. When they came out to do the job they were on time. The job was done very well. When they cleaned up the branches after cutting them down, they also check my neighbor’s yard to get any branches that may have fallen into their yard. I will use them again in the future. I highly recommend Benitez Tree Service."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Ensures complete removal and mitigates risks of underground root damage.

You can shape a cherry tree by trimming vertical branches, dense branches, and intersecting branches. Your personal aesthetic comes into play, as well. If you want to simply thin and shape the tree, you can get away with trimming the aforementioned parts of your cherry tree. If you want to shorten branches, however, consider thinning cuts, which alter the length of the branches while encouraging light penetration, new buds and shoots, and a structurally-sound shape.

Generally, you’ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree’s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it’s possible to do it too often or to go too far. Again, this is why hiring a tree trimming pro to do the work is wise. However, if you do decide to DIY, going slow and trimming gradually is the name of the game.

If you aren’t sure what you’re doing, be very careful when cutting mature tree roots (roots larger than 2 inches). Root cutting and pruning can affect both a tree’s stability and its ability to nourish itself. Issues during root cutting can result in damage or injury. 

It’s recommended you call in a pro to help, unless it’s a very small tree and you aren’t worried about the prospect of losing the tree.

The ideal time to prune a tree depends on the type of tree. Typically, late winter or early spring is a good time to prune but isn't always the case for "towering trees." It's best to trim when trees are dormant and before blooms appear but can vary depending on the tree type. It's always best to research the type of tree or ask a professional tree trimmer to determine when is the perfect time to prune your tree.
