A few details, answered
Questions about tree trimming.
When should I trim trees?
Late winter, while trees are dormant, is often a good time for planned pruning. Species and condition matter: Missouri oaks are best pruned in winter to reduce oak wilt risk. Broken or hazardous branches need prompt assessment rather than waiting for a routine pruning date.
How much can you prune a tree?
Remove only what is needed to address the tree’s structure and condition. A general upper limit is about one-quarter of the live canopy in one pruning, and mature or stressed trees may need much less. Large reductions should be assessed carefully instead of cutting to an arbitrary height.
Is tree topping bad?
Yes. Cutting the top back to large stubs removes valuable leaf area and can encourage decay and weak new growth. Selective pruning preserves the tree’s natural structure more effectively. A tree that has outgrown its space needs an assessment of suitable options.
Who trims trees near power lines?
Contact your electric utility first. Responsibility can differ between distribution lines and the service line to a building. Work near energized lines requires qualified specialists and coordination with the utility; Metro Wide’s tree-trimming service does not include utility-line work.
