Frequently Asked Questions —
Tree & Shrub Care
Q: How often should trees be trimmed in Wisconsin?
A: Most ornamental and shade trees benefit from trimming every two to three years. Shrubs typically need shaping once or twice a season, depending on variety and growth rate.
Q: When is the best time to trim trees in the Fox Valley?
A: Late winter to early spring, before new growth begins, is ideal for most species. Some flowering trees are best trimmed right after bloom.
Q: How do I know if a tree is unhealthy vs. just dormant?
A: Scratch a small section of bark — healthy wood underneath is green. Other signs of trouble: cankers, fungal growth at the base, significant dieback, or unusual leaf drop. If you're unsure, call us for an assessment.
Q: Can overgrown shrubs be restored or do they need to be replaced?
A: Many overgrown shrubs can be restored through hard pruning over one to two seasons. We assess each situation and give you an honest recommendation.
Q: Do you handle large trees or only smaller ornamentals?
A: We handle trees of all sizes. For trees requiring significant height work or near-structure removal, see our Tree Removal service.
