Why trim?

Periodically it becomes necessary to trim your trees. In spring and summer months when there is significant rainfall trees grow rather quickly causing an overgrowth. You will notice during these periods that tree limbs may hang low and touch the roof. It’s at this point when storms and strong winds occur that your overgrown trees are susceptible to limb damage or breakage.

When should you trim?

Homeowners frequently ask, “when should I trim my trees”? Answer = Outside of the above-mentioned overgrowth it is usually a personal preference or when trees look untidy or in need of a clean-up pruning. In Texas, you can trim trees year-round. It is important to know that no more than 25% of the canopy (foliage) should be removed when trimming trees; and deadwood can be trimmed at any time.
