Part of the responsibility of owning a home is the care and maintenance of the property. For first-occupancy homes in a new subdivision, these owners will be faced with the task of transforming a relatively barren landscape into a warmer and more appealing vista by building a deck/patio, and planting flower beds/gardens, shrubs, and/or some new trees.
Owners of established/older homes and properties must be concerned with maintaining the health and the aesthetic appeal of mature shrubs and trees that have been in place for many years. This maintenance likely will include pruning for trees that have grown to considerable heights. In these instances, for reasons of personal safety as well as the use of appropriate techniques, such tree pruning may best be left to the skills of an arborist or tree services specialist from DreamWorks Tree Services rather than using a do-it-yourself approach.

How Often Should I Prune My Trees?
The frequency of tree pruning depends on the type of tree and its condition. It helps to prune diseased and pest-infected trees regularly, at least once per year. Be sure to use proper tools and correct techniques to avoid damaging the trees.
How are Pollarding, Reducing, and Topping Different?
Pollarding – refers to cutting the branches of a tree to contain its size. Experts start with the process when a tree is young and continue once every two years.
Reduction – is a tree trimming technique involving shortening the branches selectively to reduce the spread and height of a tree and curb excessive growth sprouts. It allows you to save a tree that you may otherwise have had to remove.
Topping – is when a tree is indiscriminately cut back to stubs. This method is not usually preferred because the result is unsightly.
