Tree Trimming & Pruning Services
Tree trimming is one of the most important ways to protect the long-term health and safety of your landscape. Proper pruning helps trees grow stronger, improves airflow and sunlight, removes hazardous limbs, and helps prevent disease and storm damage before problems start.
​
At Green Goddess Trees, we take an eco-conscious approach that supports healthier trees, safer properties, and thriving outdoor spaces.

When to Prune
-
General rule: Late dormant season (late fall through early spring) is ideal for most deciduous ornamental trees because that’s when they’re leafless, have low sap flow, and disease risk is reduced
-
Maples, elms, birches: Prune mid‑winter to avoid excessive sap flow
-
Spring‑flowering trees: Prune right after blooming to preserve next year’s flowers
-
Evergreens: Late winter or early spring before new growth
-
Avoid heavy pruning in late spring/summer. Only light, corrective work should be done.
