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.
Jane Sutcliffe
Eric gave us a thorough assessment and education about our trees. He discussed options for proactively pruning, treating, and feeding them. He presented us with a plan that was manageable and gave us confidence that someone with specialized knowledge was looking out for our trees! We are so very happy with his service!
Brian Jaynes
Eric was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He did a great job trimming up a tree that had a lot of wind damage, and left the area very tidy. I highly recommend Eric and the services of the Freedom Tree Care company.
C Smith
They were knowledgeable about all trees and the care each needed. They were timely and cleaned up after themselves.
Kara Selim
Thank you Freedom Tree Care! Eric was very helpful in diagnosing the fungus that had taken over our crabapple tree and knew exactly what it needed in order to get back to its beautiful self before spring! Eric and his team were very responsive to my inquiry, professional and efficient. 100% recommend!
