Do I have to be home for an estimate?
If you can mark the trees you’d like us to look at, draw a map, send reference photos, or clearly describe the location, you do not need to be home for us to estimate your tree removal or pruning. We’re happy to meet with you for walk-through appointments!

Can you work around utility wires?
Long and short of it: It depends on the type of utility! We highly respect and observe Minimum Approach Distance (MAD) in accordance with the Electrical Hazards and Awareness Program (EHAP), as enforced by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), and in further accordance with the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) Z133.1 Safety Standard for Arboricultural Operations.

What's the best time of year to prune my trees?
Most trees can be pruned year round without issue. A handful of species, such as fruit trees and Oak Trees, are best served by Dormant season pruning in order to avoid pathogens. For Maples, we often avoid heavy pruning during late-winter sap flow. In other words, it is tree specific!

How often should I prune my trees?
Pruning schedules vary based on a tree’s species, age, size, and condition. Healthy mature trees in a home’s landscape, or urban environment, often require a pruning cycle of 3-5 years. Younger trees may benefit from more regular structural adjustments/interventions, and we suggest pruning in 2-3 year cycles. Fruit trees should be pruned every year in order to maintain maximum fruit and flower yields.
