Tree pruning is a preventive maintenance service that improves health and aesthetics. While trimming focuses on removing excess/unnecessary branches for improved appearance, pruning consists of removing dead, damaged, and/or diseased branches (as well as shaping) to promote healthy growth. Furthermore, professional maintenance helps protect people and property from hazards or potential damage.

Tree Pruning FAQs
Why is professional tree pruning necessary?
Pruning isn't just for looks; it removes dead or diseased wood, improves airflow, and prevents safety hazards. Proper cuts by an arborist prevent the spread of diseases like Oak Wilt.
When should I prune my oak trees?
In Minnesota, avoid pruning oaks between April and July to prevent the spread of Oak Wilt. The best time is during the winter months when the trees are dormant.
What is the difference between pruning and trimming?
While often used interchangeably, “pruning” usually refers to the health and structural integrity of the tree, while “trimming” is often focused on aesthetics and shape.
Can I prune my own large trees?
Small shrubs are fine for DIY, but large tree pruning requires specialized climbing gear and an understanding of tree biology. Improper cuts can permanently damage or kill a tree.
Does pruning help trees grow faster?
Pruning doesn't necessarily speed up growth, but it redirects the tree's energy to the healthiest branches, leading to a stronger, more vigorous tree over time.
