"We had a tree problem. I left messages with 5 services and Alex connected me within minutes and came the same day to look. He said he would come tomorrow (October 26, 2023) to take care of it. We are in the midst of a winter storm warning so I thought I wouldnâ t see him until spring if lucky. Well he sure did show up during the storm and tackled that tree! He said we could watch him work if we wanted to ensure he did a professional job. We didnà ¢à  à  t because we were confident in his abilities, but I did look out now and then because I was concerned for him! He was very methodic on how he approached the tree to avoid disturbing the neighbors yard or damaging ours. He was very reasonably priced and did an exceptional job with clean up especially fighting the snow! And none of the other services have contacted us yet! We highly highly highly recommend Alex. 10 stars out 5!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

No. Topping a tree refers to severely cutting down all its major branches and tree in a straight line. It was once recommended for streetside deciduous trees but has fallen out of practice. Topping leads to many problems, removing so much of the tree that many trees struggle to survive and become much more vulnerable to insects and diseases. Also, it doesn’t really help tree growth as once assumed and often leads to an ugly appearance of many sprouting stems in competition to become new main branches.

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. 

Professionals use assessments, strategic cuts, specialized equipment, and safety measures to ensure healthy growth or the safe removal of trees or shrubs.

We don’t recommend DIY tree trimming for a few different reasons. First, the tools required to trim a tree can be costly, up to $1,100 or more, for the ladders and specialized saws needed. 

Safety is another concern, especially when working with more mature trees. As a guideline, you should only DIY tree trimming when branches are less than two inches in diameter. Any more, and the safety risk becomes too high, which could lead to catastrophe. For this job, it’s safest to let a tree-trimming professional assess the work needed.

Though summer is not ideal, you can do some light pruning during this time of year. Just make sure it’s not excessive. Vigorous pruning will stress the tree and impact next year’s growth. Generally, August to September are the best summer-pruning months, particularly for fruit trees.
