Correct pruning does more than tidy up your yard, it is how you prevent the kind of storm damage that shows up every hurricane season. We prune to real arborist standards: proper collar cuts that heal cleanly, not flush cuts that invite rot and disease into the tree.
Best timed as structural pruning in late winter, plus a pre-hurricane-season pass in May and June to reduce wind-catch on your canopy before peak risk hits in August and September. This matters more in Katy than most places, mature live oak canopies in Nottingham Country and Kelliwood catch serious wind if left overgrown.
Starting at $150+ per tree, depending on size and canopy spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should trees be trimmed in Katy, TX?
Most mature trees benefit from structural pruning every 2 to 3 years, plus a lighter pass before hurricane season if you have large canopy trees near your home.
Can trimming actually prevent storm damage?
Yes. Removing weak, crossing, or overextended limbs before storm season reduces wind-catch and is the single biggest thing you can do to protect your roof during Katy’s hurricane season.

What Tree Trimming and Pruning Actually Involves
Correct pruning removes weak, crossing, and storm-prone limbs before hurricane season so the tree sheds wind instead of breaking. We prune to real arborist standards, cutting at the branch collar so the tree heals cleanly instead of rotting from a torn cut.
Live oaks are scheduled outside the February-June oak wilt transmission window as standard practice.
