Can this fix damage from a bad trim by another company?

Often, at least partially. We assess what was cut incorrectly and prescribe corrective pruning to help the tree recover its structure over time.

Do I need this, or just a normal trim?

If a tree looks structurally off, has storm damage, or has declined after a previous trim, prescription pruning is the right call. For routine upkeep on an otherwise healthy tree, standard tree trimming is usually enough, and we'll tell you plainly which one applies.

Why this matters

General trimming shapes a tree's canopy on a schedule. Prescription pruning starts from a diagnosis instead, whether that's a structural defect, storm damage, declining health, or the aftermath of a bad trim from another company, most often a flush cut that removed the branch collar or a topping job that left a stub full of weak new growth. From there we work backward to the specific cuts that address the actual problem. It's treatment for one diagnosed issue, not routine maintenance.

Prescription Pruning FAQs

Regular trimming is scheduled, general maintenance. Prescription pruning starts with an arborist diagnosing a specific structural or health problem, then prescribes the exact pruning needed to address it.
