Frequently Asked Questions About Professional Tree Pruning

by Elevated Tree Care • 28 February 2026
To remain healthy and structurally sound, trees require proper maintenance—especially regular pruning. Many homeowners have questions about when to prune, why it’s necessary, and whether they should hire a professional. At Elevated Tree Care, our local ISA-certified arborists are happy to answer your questions about tree pruning in the greater Pittsburgh, PA area. Why Is Professional Tree Pruning Important? Professional tree pruning improves both the health and appearance of your trees. Removing dead, damaged, or weak branches helps prevent disease from spreading and reduces the risk of falling limbs. Proper pruning also promotes better airflow and sunlight penetration, which supports healthy growth. When done correctly, pruning strengthens the tree’s structure and encourages balanced development, making it more resilient during harsh weather conditions. When Is the Best Time to Prune Trees? The ideal time for pruning depends on the type of tree and your specific goals. For many species, late winter or early spring is considered the best time because trees are dormant and can recover quickly once the growing season begins. However, hazardous branches should be removed immediately, regardless of the season. Flowering trees may have specific timing requirements to avoid cutting off future blooms. A professional arborist can determine the optimal schedule for your trees. Can I Prune My Trees Myself? While small trimming tasks may seem manageable, improper pruning can cause lasting damage to a tree. Over-pruning or making incorrect cuts can weaken the tree, increase the risk of disease, and create structural instability. Professional arborists are trained to use proper techniques and specialized equipment to ensure safe and effective pruning. They also understand how to assess a tree’s overall health and identify potential issues that may not be obvious to homeowners. How Does Pruning Help with Disease Control? One of the key benefits of professional tree pruning is disease prevention and control. Diseased or infested branches can spread problems to healthy parts of the tree or nearby trees. By carefully removing affected areas, professionals help stop the spread of infection. Improved airflow and sunlight exposure also reduce moisture buildup within the canopy, making it harder for fungi and other pathogens to thrive. Early detection and proper pruning can significantly extend the life of your trees. Where Can I Get Professional Tree Pruning in Pittsburgh, PA?

They arrived with equipment in hand and had the problem tree on the ground in no time at all. They even cleaned up the debris from the canopy as well. Highly recommend.” —John M. “I highly recommend the arborists of Elevated Tree Care. They went out of their way to resolve a number of issues with my 100-year-old sycamore tree. They also listened to my primary concern, then determined how to trim it to help prevent it from coming down in a windstorm. They explained to me why waiting until the tree was dormant before trimming it was vital to the health of this particular tree. This group of arborists are knowledgeable, accommodating, informative, efficient, polite, and reasonable. They sincerely care about trees and their customers. Thank you very much Elevated Tree Care!!” —Marjorie M. “Alex from Elevated Tree Care did an outstanding job! He understood my passion for wanting to save my tree, on a city street, which roots had picked up the sidewalk bricks over the years. He worked with my landscaper to prune the roots and design a solution that allows an ample walkway, while keeping the tree... and in time before the snow falls. I highly recommend Elevated Tree Care.” —Anna K. “Guys were friendly and did a fantastic job. Cleaned up neatly. Highly recommend them to do tree services.” —James P. “First time using this company.
