There is no single schedule. How often to trim depends on the tree species, how fast it grows and how close it is to your home, roof and driveway. Many homeowners check their trees every year.
What affects how often you trim?
Fast-growing trees and trees near structures usually need more attention. Palms, live oaks and laurel oaks all grow differently.
Signs it is time to trim
Branches touching your roof, limbs hanging low over a driveway, dead branches or a canopy that looks overgrown are good reasons to schedule tree trimming.
Make it a yearly check
Walk your yard once a year, ideally before summer storm season, and note anything that has changed.
