Tree Trimming

Wisconsin Tree Trimming Services Explained

As a professional business offering tree removal and trimming services in Wisconsin, we understand the importance of keeping your property safe and aesthetically pleasing. Among the various tree care practices, tree trimming stands out as a fundamental technique to maintain the health, aesthetics, and safety of the trees on your property.  

What is Tree Trimming?

Tree trimming, sometimes referred to as tree pruning, involves selectively cutting branches from a tree. This process is executed to remove dead or overgrown limbs, enhance the tree’s shape, and ensure the safety of your property and its surroundings. Tree trimming can include selective pruning, crown reduction, deadwood removal, or thinning.

When Should Trees be Trimmed?

The Wisconsin DNR (Department of Natural Resources) Recommends that the best time to prune any deciduous tree is when it is dormant, in the winter months, typically November to March in Wisconsin. The second best time is mid-summer after leaf growth is complete. The worst time to do major pruning is in the spring when tree buds and/or leaves are still growing and food reserves are low. Dead limbs may be removed at any time of year. 

The amount to remove depends on the tree’s size, species, and age as well as your pruning objectives. Young trees can tolerate more branch removal than mature trees. This is just another reason to hire a professional tree service like A New Leaf Tree Service.
