What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?

While often used interchangeably, trimming typically focuses on maintaining a tree's appearance and removing overgrown branches. Pruning is more targeted, focusing on the tree's health, structure, and long-term growth. Our arborists provide both services based on your trees' specific needs.

When is the best time to trim trees in Minnetonka?

The ideal timing depends on the tree species and your goals. Generally, late winter (February-March) is excellent for most trees as they're dormant. However, dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Spring-flowering trees are best pruned after blooming.

How often should trees be trimmed?

Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years. Young trees may need more frequent structural pruning to establish good form. Factors like tree species, health, location, and growth rate influence the ideal trimming schedule.

Will trimming damage my tree?

When done correctly by certified arborists, trimming actually improves tree health. We make proper cuts at the branch collar, allowing trees to seal wounds naturally. Improper trimming, like topping or flush cuts, can cause serious damage - that's why professional expertise matters.

Yes, we're qualified to trim trees near power lines, though some situations require coordination with utility companies. Safety is our top priority, and we have the specialized equipment and training for these high-risk situations.
