Trimming vs Pruning Your Trees  

What is Trimming? 

Cutting the branches off an overgrown plant is referred to as trimming. Trimming is also used to cut trees into a specific shape or maintain a certain size. Trimming may be done for aesthetic or health reasons, but the critical distinction is that you are just removing what is necessary to return the plant to the proper size or form because it's overgrown. 

If you’re doing this on your own, be careful when pruning to not damage your lawn sprinklers with falling debris.

What is Pruning? 

Pruning involves removing any branches that are diseased, dead, loose, or otherwise unhealthy. It will do wonders for the aesthetics of your property.
