Specific Pruning
Is there a perfect time to prune your trees?
There really is no wrong or right time to prune every tree. While you may think that fall is the best time to prune, trees actually enter a dormant stage, halting their growth. This is a perfect time to inspect your tree, but you may want to think twice before pruning in fall.
The best time to prune a live limb from a tree is when the tree is actively growing. Most trees will benefit from pruning just before spring blooms emerge in late winter to early spring. When you do this, the tree has the ability to close the wound before going dormant. Pruning during this time also encourages new growth as soon as the weather gets warm.
Stump Grinding vs Stump Removal
Is there a difference?
Yes. Stump removal extracts the entire stump, including the underground root ball of the tree. While this process of stump removal can be challenging, time-consuming, and often more expensive, it will also result in a more comprehensive solution.
Stump grinding leaves the roots in the ground. The stump and surface roots are ground down until it is below the soil. The grinding process yields small pieces of stump, which can be used as ground cover or mulch. Most of the time, stump grinding is sufficient and can get the job done.
Common
Tree Pests
What tree pests are in Missouri?
One of the latest invasive insects to arrive in Missouri and rapidly spreading across the country is the Emerald Ash Borer. This insect specifically invades ash trees, one of the most popular landscaping trees.
While invasive tree pests are insects and diseases that are not native to Missouri, there are many that infest trees: Asian Longhorn Beetle, Gypsy Moth, etc. To prevent further spread, it is very important not to remove
the wood of infected trees from your property.

What Are Common Problems With Trees?
Believe it or not, trees can have extreme damage from storms. This is caused by heavy ice, snow, hail, high winds, etc. Proper care of these conditions are essential to the life of your tree.
Another unprecedented problem with trees can relate all the way back to the way they were planted. If you plant them too deep, the roots won't have access to oxygen to thrive. They need to be planted in a hole that is wider than the pot that your new tree came in and one inch shallower.
