When is the best time to prune? Titan Arbor Care has the answer.

With expert care, your trees will stay healthy, strong and ready to flourish in every season.


As winter settles in and a hush falls over the landscape, your trees enter their season of rest.


While they’re catching some Zs, it’s the perfect time to give them the professional TLC they need to awaken rejuvenated when spring returns and the world begins to buzz again.


The ISA Certified Arborists of Titan Arbor Care—Jay Dalton, Tyler Honsaker and Jeremy Rolf—know that while winter gives trees a much-needed break, it’s also a critical time for protection and preparation.


With expert care, your trees will stay healthy, strong and ready to flourish in every season.


“Fall and winter reveal what spring and summer conceal,” Jay explains. “When trees are dormant, they aren’t actively growing, which means pruning causes less stress. The absence of leaves also allows us to clearly see the tree’s structure and make more precise cuts.”


Pruning now enables your trees to channel their energy into healthy growth, maximizing the restorative power of their restful season and ensuring they emerge from dormancy even stronger.

“Pruning should be done before March 31, if possible,” Jay advises. “Once trees begin to stir, sap starts flowing and can leak from cuts, attracting pests that spread diseases like oak wilt.”


To combat such threats, Titan Arbor Care tailors unique strategies for clients to treat tree ailments using environmentally friendly methods whenever possible. Their approach focuses on relieving tree stress and strengthening root health using slow-release fertilizers with biostimulants, while precise pest control programs protect landscapes from harmful infestations year-round.


Titan Arbor Care’s annual or biannual pruning plans take the guesswork out of tree maintenance, keeping your trees healthy, beautiful and professionally cared for by ISA Certified Arborists all year long.


“We’re licensed, bonded and insured, with the expertise to care for your trees year-round, in every season,” Jay adds.


Fall isn’t the end of your garden’s summer glory. It’s the beginning of next year’s bloom and the time to ensure your trees are prepared for winter’s slumber and ready for spring’s wake-up call.
