Tree Trimming & Pruning
Structural pruning, deadwood removal, and roof and driveway clearance that keeps the tree healthy.
Pruning for Utah trees
Good pruning removes deadwood, opens the crown so wet spring snow does not snap it, and lifts limbs off the roof and driveway. It never means topping. A topped tree regrows as a cluster of weak shoots that break off in the next storm.
When to prune
Late winter, while most deciduous trees are dormant, is the best time for structural work. Deadwood and clearance cuts can happen any time of year.
