Mark the cuts
The crew lead identifies removal limbs and the trim height, so the result matches what was discussed before any saws start.

Tree Trimming FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about tree trimming in El Paso.
How often should I trim my trees in El Paso?
Most healthy shade trees do well with a structural trim every 3 to 5 years. Fast-growing species and trees over driveways or roofs are usually on a shorter cycle. Fruit and ornamental trees often need lighter, more frequent attention.
When is the best time of year to trim trees here?
Late winter through early spring is ideal for most species in El Paso — the tree is dormant and pest pressure is low. Dead-wooding, safety pruning, and storm cleanup can be done any time of year.
Will trimming hurt my tree?
Done correctly, no. Done badly — flush cuts, stub cuts, or topping — yes, and the damage can last for the life of the tree. We trim no more than what is healthy for the species and avoid topping entirely.
Can you trim limbs near power lines?
We handle clearance around the secondary drop from the pole to your house. Anything closer to a primary line is the utility's job for safety reasons, and we'll tell you who to call.
