How often should mature trees be pruned in Westfield?

Most mature shade trees benefit from structural pruning every 3-5 years, though storm-damaged or diseased limbs should be removed as soon as they're spotted. Westfield's older oaks and maples are large enough that pruning is usually a job for trained crews with proper equipment, not a ladder-and-handsaw project.

Why is my mature Westfield tree dropping limbs?

Sudden limb drop on older trees usually signals internal decay, storm stress, or overextended growth. Given how large Westfield's canopy trees are, a dropped limb is a genuine safety risk. We recommend an assessment to determine whether the tree needs targeted pruning, cabling, or removal.

Can I save a struggling old tree, or should it come down?

It depends on the cause and extent of decline. Many struggling trees recover with deep-root fertilization, pruning, and pest or disease treatment. Others are too far gone or too hazardous to keep. We give an honest assessment — we'd rather save a mature tree than remove one, but not at the cost of safety.
