Tree Trimming FAQs
-
Our certified arborists look for:
Dead or dying branches
Diseased trees
Encroachment on your home or a neighbor’s property
Limbs growing too close to electrical wires
Structural problems like crossing or rubbing branches
-
It depends on the species—our arborists will guide you based on what’s healthiest. Generally, it’s best to trim during dormant months (November–April). Oak and Elm Trees, for example, should only be pruned when dormant to reduce the risk of insects or disease, such as the Emerald Ash Borer. It’s also helpful to prune before leaves fully develop, so the structure of the tree is easier to see.
-
DIY trimming can be risky. Our Certified Arborists ensure safety and proper techniques. Minor trimming of low branches might be safe for homeowners, but large-scale or high-branch pruning can be dangerous and can potentially damage the tree if done incorrectly. Hiring Certified Arborists helps ensure both safety and tree health in Minneapolis.
-
Yes, but timing matters. Most evergreen trees need minimal pruning. Each species has unique growth habits, so if you’re unsure about timing, give us a call. Our trained arborists will advise the best schedule for your conifers.
-
Permit requirements vary by city. In most cases, routine trimming doesn’t require a permit. However, if you live in an area with heritage or protected trees, check local regulations or ask our team for guidance.
