DIY vs. Call a Pro
Small branches (under 3 inches diameter) reachable from the ground can be pruned with loppers or a pole saw. Use the three-cut method to prevent bark tearing. Never top trees — it damages their health and structure.
Call a professional when:
Always hire a certified arborist for large branches, trees near power lines, trees taller than you can safely reach, full tree removal, or any work requiring climbing or aerial lifts.
