"I hired Kleen Kuts Tree Service of Manvel to remove an eighteen-year-old oak tree that was damaging my yard and home and grind the stump. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Eddie and his crew were incredibly professional, efficient and thorough. The guys arrived on time and were prepared with the proper equipment to safely remove the tree. No damage was done to my house or plants and, after the tree was down, they cleaned up after themselves, leaving my yard looking spotless. My neighbors who watched the process have even told me that the team was fast and efficient. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Kleen Kuts. The responsiveness, professionalism and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Oh – and the icing is that his bid was the best one I got! I would highly recommend Kleen Kuts to anyone in need of tree removal services (or tree trimming). Thank you for a job well done!"

"I've never had a company that stayed in contact, from start to finish of a project, as they have. James and his crew are very professional, friendly and will explain every detail for what has to be done. The cleanup is like the tree was never there I will definitely be using them again and referring them to everyone."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.

The best time to trim trees is in late fall through winter when the tree has slowed its growing for the year. Cold weather stops insects and fungal growth from attacking a new tree wound. Summer and fall are considered the worst times to trim trees, but it’s permissible in certain scenarios, such as tree disease, damaged branches, or small, aesthetic cuts.

Pruning trees during the summer can be a bad idea because the new growth will take place during the hottest months of the year, which can stress your tree out. Similarly, pruning during the early fall can be a bad idea, too, because you’d be stimulating new growth when most trees are aiming to go dormant. 

Pruning recommendations will vary by the type of tree, but generally, waiting until winter to prune your trees is a good idea.

Generally, you’ll want to prune back the trunk by 1 to 2 feet each year to promote bushy growth. Doing so concentrates vegetative buds closer to the bottom of the tree, where you can easily harvest fruit. For side shoots that are a year old, leave at least six leaves. 

Never remove more than 30% of a tree’s foliage during pruning—even if your tree is really overgrown. Removing this much foliage at a time could kill your tree.

DIY home gardening can be relaxing, joyful, and cost-effective. From mowing your lawn to planting your own flower beds, there is a wide variety of gardening tasks that you can do yourself to make your yard look beautiful. If you’d rather spend your time not in the dirt, or if you’d like someone to take care of your plants for you, calling a professional gardening service is best. They can give you a workup of what services you’ll need and how often to schedule them.
