Frequently Asked

What's the difference between trimming and pruning?

Trimming usually targets size or clearance; pruning targets the tree's long-term health and structure. We do both, and we say which is which.

Is topping ever okay?

No. Topping creates weak regrowth and decay. We never top trees.

Storm damage or hazard tree? We respond 24/7.
