Frequently Asked Questions
How often should live oaks be trimmed?+
Most live oaks benefit from pruning every 3–5 years. Avoid pruning during oak wilt season (February–June) when possible.
What is crown reduction?+
Crown reduction is a selective pruning technique that reduces the overall size of a tree while maintaining its natural shape and branching structure.
Can you trim trees near power lines?+
Yes, we provide clearance trimming near structures and utility line drops. For lines owned by the utility company, we coordinate accordingly.
Is trimming the same as topping?+
No. We do not top trees — topping is harmful and creates future hazards. We use proper pruning cuts to achieve size reduction safely.
