Professional Tree Pruning and Trimming that protects your trees
Tree trimming or pruning might be the most beneficial thing you do for your trees. It can equally be the most devastating. Depends on who does the job.
- Boost resistance to diseases and harsh weather
- Deter invasive pests
- Help spot dangerous infections early.
- Prolong tree life
DIY is never the best option for pruning or trimming. Protect your trees. Invest in certified and highly-equipped arborists who have cut trees in your area for over a decade. That’s us at Costa Tree Service. We operate throughout Hartland, Oconomowoc, Delafield, and NW Waukesha County, WI.
When should you prune trees?
Late winter is generally the best time to prune trees in Wisconsin. Because the trees are dormant during this period, they are less susceptible to diseases when cut. Dormant trees also have fewer leaves, which makes pruning easier.
The prime pruning period also depends on the tree species. Oak, for instance, is best trimmed from November to March to prevent oak wilt. May through summer is ideal for maple trees.
If you’re considering ornamental or maintenance pruning, give us a call. Our tree arborists will provide the expert advice you need.
6 warning signs your trees need to be pruned
- The tree has dead branches. Worse if they are large and close to a building. Dead branches are brittle and can fall off without warning.
- Branches are too close to power lines.
- In some cases, incredibly dense foliage and lots of thick branches can be a problem. Trees like this can be quite hazardous during storms.
- Tree is too large for your yard, and several overhanging branches are above your roof or near your windows.
- There are diseased or infested limbs. These must be cut off quickly to prevent the disease from spreading and weakening other parts of the tree.
- Branches crossing the trunk, or other branches, also need to be removed. These will inevitably lead to decay over time and thus compromise the tree’s health.
At Costa, we use lifts, grapplers, and tree rigging equipment to maintain minimal contact and make sure the branches land as safely as possible. We are also a comprehensively insured tree cutting service, so rest assured you’re in no danger of liability.
Boost your curb appeal. Give your yard a healthy makeover.
Whether acting as a natural fence or the centerpiece of your yard, beautifully shaped trees are not only a bragging right. They also increase your property’s value.
To the tree doctors here at Costa, tree pruning is both a science and an art. While we obsess over aesthetic detail, every cut is made with a deep understanding of the plant’s biology. The outcome is trees that are as healthy as they are gorgeous.
