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
Michael Wingfield
Eric has been working with me on my trees now for almost two years. He has taken care of my 13 trees quite well and I am extremely impressed. His knowledge is outstanding and far superior to other tree services I have used. He will not recommend work that does need to be done. In fact, he has even given me tips on how to do some of my own work. I strongly urge you to call him for any work needing done on your trees. Freedom tree care isn’t free but the pricing sometimes feels like it is! He is more than reasonable . The pricing along with his knowledge and expertise as a Master Arborist is worth every cent.
Collin Brouwer
Eric planted 40+ trees for us and did a great job. He is always prompt and willing to answer any questions we have. Would highly recommend!
Barb Mease
Freedom Tree Care, with Eric and Andrew, have done an outstanding job on my many tornado decimated trees, stumps & big bushes! They are very efficient, highly skilled, professional and courteous. They were recommended by Iowa Arboretum as their most preferred, trusted, tree professionals. I highly recommend them! Barb from Cambridge
Curran Swift
We liked the careful pruning of our lilac bushes and crabapple tree. The tree was transformed from a tangled mess of branches to a very nicely shaped tree.
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.
