Frequently Asked
Tree Service Questions

  • What's the difference between ornamental pruning and dormant pruning?

     Think of ornamental pruning as a haircut for looks — shaping the canopy while a tree is actively growing. Dormant pruning happens in winter when the tree is "asleep," letting us make larger structural cuts without stressing the tree or inviting disease.

  • Why do I need an ISA-certified arborist instead of just a tree cutter?

    An ISA certification is like the difference between a surgeon and someone with a chainsaw. At HJ Property Care, our ISA credentials mean we understand tree biology, proper cut angles, and disease prevention — not just how to make a tree fall down.


  • When should I have a tree removed versus just pruned?

    Removal is warranted when a tree has significant trunk decay, root damage, a severe lean, or is dead. If the damage is isolated to branches or the tree is structurally sound, precision pruning usually solves the problem and preserves the tree.


  • How does tree work near power lines actually work safely?

    Line clearance is its own specialty — imagine working around a live wire that can arc several feet. Our team is specifically certified for line-clearance work, which means we know the required approach distances and have the insulated equipment to trim safely near energized conductors.

  • How long does it take to remove a large hazardous tree?

    Most single-tree removals take 4–8 hours depending on size, proximity to structures, and debris hauling. Trees near houses, fences, or power lines require rigging and controlled sectional cuts, which takes longer than a straight felling in an open field.
