When to Trim Your Trees: Advice from Ed’s Tree Service
At Ed’s Tree Service, we pride ourselves on not only providing top-tier MD tree trimming and maintenance services but also giving our customers the best advice for keeping their trees healthy year-round. This commitment to customer education is reflected in the glowing review we received from Joyce W., who had a great experience with our team. Joyce shared how our experts advised against pruning her large holly trees and adding fertilizer during the intense summer heat, a decision that ultimately helped preserve the health of her trees. Here’s why timing is crucial when it comes to tree care, and how Ed’s Tree Service ensures the best possible results for your trees.
Why timing matters for MD tree trimming and fertilization
As Joyce’s experience demonstrates, the right timing is everything when it comes to tree care. During the hot summer months, it’s generally not advisable to prune or fertilize certain trees, especially large trees like holly. These actions can stress the tree further and harm its long-term health. Joyce shared her experience:
“They put off trimming a couple of holly trees that are very large and giving nutrition to water them, it almost 100 and 90-degree temperatures consistently for a while. They cautioned me about doing any pruning or nutrition until we get into the Fall. I just thought that was excellent for them to give me that kind of advice and I told the owner that they wouldn’t have had such a good rating on Angie’s List if they weren’t being professional and giving people the proper information. If they cut the trees or tried to give nutrition to one of those trees and it was so hot that it could have killed the tree. Ed’s Tree Service was excellent.”
This thoughtful approach is why Joyce, and many of our clients, trust us to handle their tree care needs with precision and professionalism. At Ed’s Tree Service, we understand that each tree is unique, and our team takes great care to ensure we trim and fertilize at the optimal times to promote healthy growth. Looking for more reviews?

Tree trimming services in hot weather
When temperatures are consistently above 90 degrees, like during the intense summer months, tree trimming should be avoided for most species. MD tree pruning during this time can stress trees further, causing them to struggle with heat and potentially making them more susceptible to disease. Ed’s Tree Service recommends waiting until fall when temperatures are cooler, allowing trees to recover from any stress they may have endured during the summer.

The importance of tree nutrition
Another key aspect of tree health that Joyce mentioned in her review was the careful consideration of tree nutrition. Trees, especially in urban environments, often face challenges like soil depletion and pollution. While fertilization can be an effective way to nourish trees, it should only be done when the tree is in the right state to absorb the nutrients. Our team at Ed’s Tree Service uses specialized techniques to provide the right nutrients at the right time, ensuring trees get what they need without compromising their health.
