Late winter to early spring (February through April) is ideal for most tree pruning in Melville. Trees are dormant, so you can see their structure clearly, and they heal quickly once growing season starts.But timing depends on the species. Oaks should be pruned in late fall or winter to prevent oak wilt disease, while maples can be pruned almost any time except during their spring sap run. Dead or dangerous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season.Our arborists consider each tree’s species, health, and your specific goals when scheduling work. We’ll recommend the best timing to keep your trees healthy and looking their best.
