Yes, trimming your trees can help produce more effective growth and ensure strong limb attachment in the future. In the Houston area, it’s important to have your trees evaluated yearly for the storm season, and we also recommend having a yearly check up to ensure proper pruning and better tree health.

Tree Topping vs. Tree Pruning vs. Tree Trimming
Tree Trimming
Tree trimming is similar to pruning but also accounts for external needs, like ensuring the tree doesn't threaten property and is storm ready. A tree trimming service may require more to be cut from a tree than a tree pruning service, but it should be less than a tree topping service.
Tree Pruning
Tree pruning is a yearly or biannual event that helps a tree produce and grow more effectively. Pruning a tree is different for each tree species - both from when a tree a should be pruned and how it should be pruned.
Tree Topping
Tree topping is an extreme pruning of a tree that leaves as much of the canopy of the tree as possible. While some jobs require that all of a tree's limbs are removed, we prefer to leave as much canopy as possible to ensure the tree's continued health.
Common Tree Trimming Questions
How Do You Properly Trim A Tree?
Put together a tree trimming plan before getting started, including where to place winches and where a person might safely place themselves before starting to cut a branch. You’ll want to ensure both your health and that of the tree is considered in the plan, as taking off too much of a tree can introduce disease, stress, and pests.
What Months Are Best For Tree Trimming?
It’s always best to trim trees when they are dormant, and typically, that is going to be in the winter time. Dormancy does differ between tree types, though, so contact us for a custom quote and plan to ensure that your tree is being trimmed at the right time.
