Why Trimming Trees Is Important
Even if you aren't worried about tree branches growing into your property, it is still a good idea to have your trees trimmed periodically. Routine tree trimming gives a tree care expert the opportunity to remove any excess growth that could ultimately be bad for the tree. Limbs that are showing signs of disease or infestation should also be pruned away to preserve the life of the tree. Call Rick's Tree Service for all of your tree trimming needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Trimming
How often should I trim my trees?
Most trees benefit from trimming every 2–5 years, but this can vary by species and condition. Our arborist can assess your trees and recommend a proper schedule.
Is there a best time of year for trimming?
Late fall to early spring is ideal for most tree trimming, but we can safely trim year-round depending on the tree type and the issue at hand.
Can trimming help save a damaged or diseased tree?
Yes. Removing dead or diseased limbs can prevent further spread and help the tree heal and grow stronger.
Do I need to be home when trimming is done?
No, as long as we have access to the property and clear instructions, you don’t need to be present during the service.
Is trimming dangerous for the tree?
Not when done correctly. Our certified arborist and trained crews use proper techniques to promote health—not harm.
