FAQs

The frequency of tree trimming depends on various factors such as species, age, and growth rate. Generally, most trees benefit from trimming every one to three years. This regular maintenance promotes healthy growth, enhances appearance, and mitigates potential hazards during storms. Our arborists can provide a personalized trimming schedule based on your specific trees and property conditions.

Several indicators suggest a tree may require removal. These include the presence of dead or decaying branches, visible cracks in the trunk, fungal growth or mushrooms at the tree's base, a noticeable lean towards a structure, or significant root damage. Our certified arborists can conduct a thorough assessment and provide a professional recommendation regarding the tree's condition and necessary actions.

Stump grinding is a crucial step following tree removal for several reasons. It prevents regrowth of the tree, eliminates potential tripping hazards, and deters pests like termites or ants from establishing nests in the remaining wood. Additionally, grinding the stump prepares the area for new landscaping or replanting, allowing for a seamless transition in your yard's appearance.

Our standard practice is to grind stumps to a depth of 6 to 12 inches below ground level. The exact depth may vary based on the tree species and the property owner's intended use for the area. This depth is typically sufficient to prevent regrowth and allows for natural coverage of the area with grass or new plantings.

The optimal period for tree trimming is generally from late autumn through early spring, when trees are in their dormant phase. Trimming during this time minimizes stress on the trees. However, it's important to note that for safety reasons, hazardous limbs or dead wood should be removed promptly, regardless of the season.
