Tree trimming and pruning in Boulder
Good pruning keeps trees healthy and safe: removing dead or crossing branches, raising the canopy and thinning for light and wind. Bad pruning, like topping, weakens trees for years.

Common questions
When is the best time to prune?
Late winter, while trees are dormant, suits most species. Dead or dangerous branches can come off any time.
Should my tree be topped?
No. Topping causes weak regrowth and decay. A certified arborist will recommend proper reduction cuts instead.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask whether the quote includes grinding and hauling away the wood.
