FAQs
Will pruning hurt my tree?
Not when it follows ANSI A300 standards. We avoid topping and make proper branch collar cuts to promote recovery.
How often should I trim?
Many trees benefit from a 2–4 year cycle. Fast-growing screens (Leyland, arborvitae) may need annual or biannual maintenance.
Do you haul all debris?
Yes. Brush is chipped and hauled unless you request chip-on-site or log keepers.
