"I hired Limb It Up because they were very knowledgeable concerning tree and shrub trimming AND the have a PhD Botanist on staff who also came out and provided guidance on shrub care for several of my very mature and now somewhat struggling plants. I?ve now had my trees pruned and I?m hiring them for shrub care as well. The trees they cut were done quickly and efficiently and debris was removed with the added benefit of my front yard being blown free of leaves! I can tell the job done on the trees is a professional one because I am a long time farmer?s daughter and gardener, and I look forward to seeing the trees become healthier and more beautiful over the next few seasons. I highly recommend this company for tree and shrub work."

"Jose and his professional crew did a great job removing a large Pecan tree and then entirely removing the stump so a detached garage could be built in the same location as the tree. They were prompt and did an excellent job including all clean up. Their price was also better than other quotes. I would hire them again for any tree service."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

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.

Palm trees are unique in that their roots don't grow straight down; they grow horizontally. Typically, palm tree roots go down between 12 and 36 inches deep. The roots grow far and wide from the base of the palm tree to absorb as much water and soil nutrients as possible. In addition, the horizontal roots are also very strong—keeping palm trees stable and helping them sway during storms.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

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. 

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.

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task.
