Tree trimming and tree pruning are both important tree management tasks that should be maintained and completed on a regular basis. While some people may feel these services are the same, there are clear differences between the two. So, what is the difference between tree trimming and pruning? First thing is to understand what is tree trimming and what is tree pruning. Before we go further analyzing the differences, let's look at what they are on their own and why we offer our services. What is Tree Trimming? Tree trimming involves the removing of branches from a tree to maintain its shape and size for aesthetic purposes. Properly trimming trees allow the remaining branches and the tree as a whole to grow faster and thicker than if it were to remain untrimmed. This improves the health and strength of the tree. Trimming is also used to keep trees within a manageable size for both safety and appearance [...]

One of the most important steps in caring for your trees is pruning. While most trees found around your house require very little maintenance, you still want to encourage healthy growth in your trees as well as keeping control over the trees by keeping them pruned regularly. Below are 5 tips to avoid those tree pruning mistakes. 1. Don’t Over Prune Those Trees! Keep in mind that more is less when pruning those trees. Try not to prune more than 20 percent of a trees foliage. Going past 20 percent will cost stress to the tree and it will not be able to transfer nutrients. You can always go back and prune more, but you can’t put more on. 2. Keep Those Shears Clean! Make sure to always clean your shears with a small amount of rubbing alcohol before pruning. That goes for any cutting blade as well. You may [...]

Fall time. So many things come to mind when we think fall. Pumpkins, cooler weather and of course, leaves falling down from the trees in our yards. Below are some reasons why Fall is a good time to get those trees trimmed. 1. Skip the mess. You do not have as much mess to clean up, compared to if you do it in the summer or spring — especially if you do it after the leaves all fall down and you have to rake them all.

If you do it in the fall after everything is not blooming, you don’t have to worry about messing up your blooming trees by accidentally cutting them off. And again, you would not have a ton of mess to clean up. [...]
