There's a right way to prune a tree and a fast way, and they're rarely the same. Topping — lopping the whole crown off flat — stresses trees, invites rot, and produces weak regrowth that becomes tomorrow's hazard. We make selective cuts at the right points so the tree stays strong and looks like a tree when we leave.
Most trees around here take pruning well in late winter, before the spring push. But hazard limbs — cracked, hanging, or resting on the roof — shouldn't wait for the calendar. If it's threatening something, call us now and we'll deal with the timing question later.
For most hardwoods, every 3–5 years keeps clearance and deadwood under control. Fast growers like silver maple and white pine may need attention more often.
We'll talk you out of it first — topping creates weakly attached regrowth that's more dangerous than what you started with. If the tree is simply too big for where it stands, removal is usually the honest answer, and we'll tell you that straight.
