Your Tree Trimming Questions Answered

What’s the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Tree trimming is typically focused on improving the shape and appearance of a tree, while pruning targets the health and structural integrity by removing dead, diseased, or dangerous limbs.

How often should I have my trees trimmed?

Most trees benefit from trimming every 1 to 3 years, depending on the species, growth rate, and location. Fast-growing trees may need more frequent attention.

Will trimming damage my tree?

Not when done professionally. Our team uses proper techniques to ensure each cut supports the tree’s health and long-term growth.

Do you trim trees near power lines or rooftops?

Yes. We have the equipment and experience to safely trim trees that overhang roofs, driveways, utility lines, or other sensitive areas.

What time of year is best for tree trimming?

Late winter or early spring is often best for most species, but some trees benefit from trimming in other seasons. We can recommend timing based on your tree type and goals.

How long does a trimming job usually take?

It depends on the size and number of trees, but most residential jobs are completed in one day. We provide a timeline as part of your estimate.

What do you do with the branches and debris?

All trimmings are cleaned up, removed from your property, and responsibly disposed of—unless you request to keep wood chips or mulch.

Will tree trimming help my grass grow better?

Yes. Trimming can allow more sunlight to reach your lawn and reduce competition for water, improving the health of your grass and garden beds.

Can you shape trees to avoid blocking views or light?

Absolutely. We can selectively trim trees to open up sightlines, windows, or solar panels without harming the tree.

Do I need to be home during the trimming?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access and a clear understanding of your goals, we can complete the job and provide photos or walkthroughs after.

What Our Clients Say

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ray with Monkey Business was amazing! He and his team removed a 95ft dead pine tree that was surrounded by other trees without any issues. The whole process was seamless from the initial written quote and timely communication to providing the correct COI coverage before starting. They were professional, affordable, and equipped with the right machinery to handle the job safely. I’m extremely picky about who I hire, and Monkey Business exceeded my high expectations. I highly recommend them for everything from emergency tree removals to ongoing property and business tree maintenance. Truly the best choice out there!"

Jen S

"I received a great quote and it never changed. He came out the next day for quote and showed up with his crew on the scheduled day in the rain. They cut down three trees and not one limb twig or branch was left. We had a large oak tree with branches all under it and they picked them all up. I cannot express enough what a great job they did. The crew was very nice and professional and the finished job was beautiful. Highly recommend and you will not get a better quote."

Amity Mcgee

"Monkey Business was great! They were quick to schedule an estimate and provide me a wide range of tree, landscape and debris removal services.
