Q: What’s the best time of the year to prune shade trees?

• <div><p>Deciduous shade trees (the type of trees whose leaves fall off in autumn) need to be pruned in late winter&mdash;between February and March. That&rsquo;s because it&rsquo;s easier to find and remove sick or dead branches when no leaves are present. And wounds close and heal faster in colder temperatures so pruning them at this time also makes them less prone to infection.</p></div>

Q: How can you tell the difference between hard maple and soft maple?

• <div><p>You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.</p><p>If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional tree removal?

• <div><p>Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.</p></div>

Q: What time of year is best to transplant a tree?

• <div><p>The best time to transplant a tree is when it is dormant. For many trees, this means either in the fall after the leaves have dropped (around October or November) or in early spring before new growth begins (around March). The ideal timing can depend on the type of tree. Deciduous trees do well when moved in early spring or fall, while evergreens are best transplanted in early spring or late summer. For example, pine trees are best moved in early fall, but maples prefer late fall. Avoid transplanting in winter, as the frozen or hard, cold soil poses a significant risk to the roots and prevents the tree from acclimating properly.</p></div>

Q: How much can you trim a tree without killing it?

• <div><p>Generally, you&rsquo;ll want to avoid pruning more than 25% of the tree&rsquo;s canopy at one time. While pruning your tree is important, it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

"They arrived on schedule and began work immediately. They were able to quickly trim the elm tree to our satisfaction. The willow tree took a little more time due to the proximity of the homes and multiple dead limbs at the top of the tree. I was pleased with their work, and will definitely use them again. They are very professional, and know their business well.

In no time at all the tree was down and all the branches were gone. Absolutely blown away by their professionalism, their attention to details and their work ethics. Not to mention they were pleasant to speak with....I felt very pleased when they were done."
