Good trimming vs. bad trimming
Good pruning removes dead, weak and crossing branches and cuts back to a healthy branch or the trunk. It should leave the tree looking natural.
“Topping” (cutting the whole top off a tree) and “lion-tailing” (stripping all inside branches so only tufts are left at the ends) are bad practice. They weaken trees and often lead to more breakage later. If a quote includes topping, ask why.
When to trim in the Augusta area
Late winter, before new growth starts, is a good time for most trees because the branches are easy to see and the tree recovers quickly in spring. Dead or dangerous limbs can be removed any time.
Many people schedule trimming before hurricane season (June to November) to get heavy limbs off the house before the storms come.

Common questions
Can I trim branches that hang over from my neighbor’s tree?
In general you can trim branches that hang over your property line, but you shouldn’t harm the tree itself. Talk to your neighbor first, and check local rules if you are unsure.
How often should trees be trimmed?
Most yard trees benefit from a check every 3 to 5 years. Fast-growing trees close to the house may need it more often.
