FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between tree pruning and tree trimming?
While often used interchangeably, pruning typically refers to removing branches to improve the tree’s health, structure, and safety. Trimming is usually associated with cutting back hedges or shaping shrubs for aesthetic purposes. Tip Top Arborists focuses on health- based pruning.
When is the best time of year to prune trees in Lancaster?
For many deciduous trees, late winter or early spring (during dormancy) is ideal, as it minimizes sap loss and pest attraction. However, deadwood removal and hazard pruning should be done immediately, regardless of the season.
Why is "topping" a tree bad?
Topping—cutting the main trunk or large branches indiscriminately—starves the tree of foliage, creates massive wounds prone to decay, and forces the growth of weak, dangerous “water sprouts” Tip Top Arborists strictly prohibits tree topping.
How much does tree pruning cost in Lancaster?
The cost varies based on the size of the tree, its location, access, and the type of pruning required. We provide free, on-site, written estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
