Frequently Asked Questions

How long does pruning take?2025-11-19T07:46:04+00:00

It depends on the tree and the project. Small pruning jobs may take under an hour, while full canopy cleanings can take most of the day.

Can I save money by pruning myself?2025-11-19T07:46:29+00:00

While minor pruning can be done safely with the right tools and techniques, larger jobs are best left to tree professionals. Improper cuts can stress trees and invite disease, and attempting major pruning yourself can lead to property damage or serious injury.

When is the best time to prune in North Carolina?2025-11-19T07:46:56+00:00

We can prune year-round. Heavier pruning is usually done during the dormant season, while light pruning is safe in summer.

Do you combine pruning with other services?2025-11-19T07:47:36+00:00

Yes. Many homeowners schedule pruning along with removals, plant health care, or cabling to save time and cost.

Do you prune all types of trees?2025-11-19T07:48:01+00:00

Yes. We work with every species that grows in North Carolina.

Can improper pruning harm my tree?2025-11-19T07:48:26+00:00

Yes. Poor cuts, over-pruning, or using spikes can weaken trees and make them more vulnerable to disease. That’s why pruning should always be done by trained professionals.

Will you remove large branches over my house?2025-11-19T07:48:51+00:00

Absolutely. We specialize in safely pruning limbs that extend over homes, roofs, and driveways. Our climbers use proper equipment and methods to protect your property.

Do you clean up after pruning?2025-11-19T07:49:17+00:00

Yes. Our default is full cleanup. We remove all branches, debris, and sawdust so your property looks neat and cared for. Upon request, we can leave behind firewood rounds or mulch – or even all debris (which saves you money).

Is pruning covered by insurance?2025-11-19T07:49:45+00:00

Tree maintenance is typically not covered by insurance unless damage has already occurred, but every insurance company is different and it never hurts to ask! Our quotes include detailed language that can be used to express risks and urgency to your insurance company.

How often should I have my trees pruned?2025-11-19T07:50:10+00:00

It depends on your tree’s species, condition, and circumstances. Some trees may never require pruning, while others benefit from annual pruning to prevent damage and promote steady growth. We recommend having an arborist assess your trees yearly to determine whether pruning is necessary – and to catch any other issues. We never push unnecessary work – just keep you informed of your options and our recommendations.

How do I know if my tree needs pruning?2025-11-19T07:50:37+00:00

Look for dead branches, rubbing limbs, or areas of overgrowth touching your home. Our arborist can inspect and recommend the best approach during your estimate.
