Question 2

What season is best for pruning?

Accepted Answer

Most routine pruning and removal of weak, diseased, or dead branches can be done at any time with little negative effect on the trees. As a general guideline plant growth is maximized if pruning is done just before the buds swell, in late winter or early spring and growth is minimized by pruning in late spring or summer.

The most important aspect of pruning is to only remove what is needed for strong tree and branch structure and that the tree is able to close the wounds and reduce the likelihood of decay.

Question 3

How often do I need to prune my trees?

Accepted Answer

On average every 3-4 years. Routine pruning keeps your trees healthy, improves structure, reduces risk, provides clearance and manages crown density.

Question 4

When should I prune my fruit trees?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

How deep will you grind my stumps?

Accepted Answer

About 8-10 inches below ground level.

Question 6

What do you do with the wood and chips?

Accepted Answer

We do not sell firewood so the wood is given to our "wood guy" for processing, which is a win-win for us since we don't have to dump it at the landfill.

If you would like to keep it just let the estimator know and he'll add it to the notes. We leave the wood in longer lengths, on average 18-20" rounds, but we do not cut firewood sized pieces.

Wood chips can also be dumped on site upon request.

Question 7

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are licensed with the City of Boise and Nampa and carry liability insurance and worker's compensation for all employees.
