Proper pruning improves health, safety, and appearance — but timing and technique matter.
Best Times to Prune in South Jersey
- Winter: Ideal for structural pruning
- Late Spring: Light shaping only
- Summer: Remove storm damage
- Fall: Avoid major cuts (disease risk increases)
Common Pruning Mistakes
- Topping trees
- Cutting too close to the trunk
- Removing more than 25% of the canopy
- Using dull or dirty tools
DIY vs. Professional
DIY is fine for small branches. Anything requiring a ladder or chainsaw should be handled by a pro.
