Tree Pruning FAQs
How do I know if my tree needs pruning?
Look for dead or broken branches, excessive leaning, limbs close to power lines, or heavy overgrowth blocking sunlight.
Can pruning save a sick or damaged tree?
Yes, in many cases. Proper pruning removes diseased limbs and helps the tree focus energy on healthy growth.
How often should I prune my trees?
Most trees benefit from pruning every 3–5 years, but it depends on the species, age, and condition of the tree.
Is tree pruning safe to do myself?
Not usually—especially for large trees. Professional pruning ensures safety, proper technique, and prevents harm to the tree.

What Our Customers Are Saying
George Klesel
The knowledge of trees is super important before you start trimming or cutting off limbs. Eric has all of that knowledge and more. Freedom tree care will take care of all of the trees I have from now on.
C Smith
They were knowledgeable about all trees and the care each needed. They were timely and cleaned up after themselves.
Marietta Denniston
Just had the guys from Freedom come and remove the ‘killer limb’ that lurked completely over my roof, front to back. They also took out some dead sections of the tree and now it is growing straight up, not drooping over the house. Then, after chipping the large chunks, they raked and cleaned up all the small trash too and the yard was cleaner when they left than when they arrived. Great work, only took a couple hours, very safety-minded and careful. Would definitely recommend!
Wild Oak Campground
We had several new trees planted by Eric and had several dead trees removed. Very competitive pricing and great service. Very knowledgeable and has continued to help us with all our tree needs. Great company to work with!
Paulette Myers
We would highly recommend Eric and Freedom Tree Care. His attention to detail was evident from the beginning, as was his extensive knowledge of our specific trees and shrubs. He was very thorough in his work and meticulous in clean up. We will definitely use his services in the future. Our large Pin Oak is so beautifully shaped. It has never looked better!!
