Ideal frequency depends on species. Mature trees typically need pruning every 3-5 years, while younger trees may need attention every 1-2 years to guide growth. Fruit trees often require annual maintenance.
The dormant season—late winter to early spring—is ideal for most deciduous trees. However, deadwood and hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of the season for safety.
Pruning is a specialized horticultural practice for health and structure. Trimming is a more general term for cutting back vegetation for aesthetics or size management. We utilize a health-focused pruning approach.
Mature trees and specialized techniques should always be handled by certified professionals. Working at heights or near power lines presents significant risks that our insured team is equipped to handle.
Downing Tree Service absolutely does not perform topping. Topping causes severe stress, creates entry points for disease, and leads to weak sprout growth that shortens a tree's lifespan.
