Have an oak pruning-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

What is the right time of year to prune an oak tree?

Oaks and elms must be pruned in winter to reduce the chance of spreading oak wilt disease in oaks and Dutch elm disease in elms.
How often should I have my mature trees pruned?

Pruning cycles depend on a lot of factors. Generally, young trees should be pruned for structure every two to five years, medium-aged trees should be pruned for clearance and structure every five to eight years, and mature trees can sometimes go more than eight years between pruning cycles. Keep in mind, however, that more frequent pruning means that clearance and structural pruning objectives can be met using smaller cuts, which is better for tree health. A longer time between pruning cycles can mean that structural problems may be too late to be properly corrected or that bigger cuts will have to be made, both of which negatively impact a tree's long-term health and structural integrity.
