Get answers to common questions about professional tree pruning in Orlando.
What's the difference between pruning and trimming?
While often used interchangeably, pruning is more precise and focused on tree health—removing specific branches to improve structure, eliminate disease, or direct growth. Trimming is typically broader, focusing on shape and overgrowth. Our arborists primarily use pruning techniques to ensure each cut benefits the tree's long-term health.
When is the best time to prune trees in Orlando?
The best pruning time varies by species. Most deciduous trees are best pruned in late winter during dormancy. Oak trees should only be pruned in cooler months (November-February) to prevent oak wilt. Palm trees can be pruned year-round but preferably in spring. Flowering trees should be pruned after blooming. We'll advise on optimal timing for your specific trees.
How much does tree pruning cost in Orlando?
Tree pruning costs depend on tree size, species, complexity, and number of trees. Small ornamental trees typically cost $150-$400, medium trees $300-$700, and large shade trees $500-$1,500+. We provide free, detailed estimates after assessing your trees so you know exactly what to expect.
Will pruning hurt my tree?
Proper pruning by a certified arborist actually benefits trees by removing dead/diseased wood, improving structure, and directing healthy growth. However, improper pruning (topping, lion-tailing, over-thinning) can seriously damage trees. That's why it's important to hire ISA Certified professionals who understand tree biology.
How often should trees be pruned?
Most mature trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, while young trees may need structural pruning every 2-3 years to develop proper form. Palm trees typically need annual pruning. We can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific trees and goals.
What is topping and why is it bad?
Topping is the harmful practice of cutting main branches back to stubs. It causes rapid, weak regrowth (water sprouts), exposes the tree to decay and disease, destroys natural form, and can eventually kill the tree. We never top trees. Instead, we use proper reduction cuts that maintain tree health and structure.
