Customers say: True professional

"We have used Alfonso and his crew to do several jobs for us and have never been disappointed. Their skills and understanding of the proper trimming, pruning, and care for trees are excellent. They recently removed a 50+foot old maple tree, and ground the stump down well below ground level. They also pruned a large apple tree and thinned and trimmed two huge spruce trees. Those look better than they have for years. They are meticulous about cleaning up after their work. For their very hard work, we felt their price was very fair. We highly recommend Brothers Tree Service."

"Absolutely wonderful company. We had ten trees pruned ranging from large apple trees to small fruit trees, along with locust and maple trees. ATS was absolutely professional from start to finish. They did it in a day. They communicated with us throughout. They found insect damage (I'm a BYU biology professor and confirmed their diagnoses was spot-on) and I was especially the way they handled it. We could not be more pleased and happy with the very reasonably priced work and the way they left our yard cleaned up of branches and even leaves. We were so pleased and we will use them again for such work. Highly, Highly recommended."

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.

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.

Since summer is a busy time for tree companies, the cheapest time of year to remove a tree is during the winter. February and March are typically the prime time to hire a tree removal pro, and some homeowners living in colder climates can save around 20% off services. It depends on location and the company, but you can always shop around for the best deal.

You need to remove all branches affected by Dutch elm disease. If your tree has several affected branches, you will probably need to remove the entire tree. First, consult a pro to be sure that you’ve correctly identified it as an elm tree. Make sure the tree is properly disposed of with a plastic covering or through debarking, chipping, or burning.

Late winter is ideal, but if you’re pruning apple trees in the spring, prune them as early as possible in the season. You want to ensure your tree is just creeping out of dormancy and hasn’t started pushing out new growth. If you prune your tree too late into spring, you generally won’t see results until the following year.

That said, there’s no pruning season for unhealthy growth. Remove dead, dying, or diseased branches as soon as you notice them, regardless of the time of year.
