Deciding when to prune is essential. Out of season pruning can seriously stress trees, allow pathogen entry and even lead to death.

Pruning before and after major storms is very important. Weakened and damaged branches can become dangerous projectiles during high winds, leading to damage to property, vehicles, and people. Trained arborists can inspect and identify problem sections of trees that can’t necessarily be seen from the ground.

Plants that encroach on physical structures will need routine maintenance and grooming to prevent damage and pest access.
