People take summer vacations to take advantage of the warmer weather. But for trees, winter is the best time to be off work. This dormancy period temporarily slows down the growth of trees, making it an ideal time for homeowners to take care of their trees with less stress. Our services include winter pruning, which will help increase your home's value, protect your investment and save you time and effort.

How to Prune Dormant Trees
Pruning trees before spring growth allows the tree to heal from new wounds and minimizes the risk of being bitten by insects, bacteria, or fungal diseases. Experts and qualified professionals are best qualified to use special tools and safety gear to reduce injury to trees and individuals.
Pruning Types
Pruning Tips and Techniques
Small branches: To trim small branches, either cut them back to their main branch or cut them slanted, approximately one-quarter inches from the nearest flower.
Large branches: It is necessary to make several cuts to prevent injury to the bark. You should start at the bottom of the branch between 18 inches to two feet from its main trunk. Then, cut about one-third through the branch.
Make the second cut about an inch from the top, about one inch further than the first. Keep cutting until the branch splits.
For natural healing and to prevent branch collars from becoming too large, it is best to make the final cut just beyond the branch collar.
