Pruning during the tail end of summer, before trees fully shift into dormancy, gives cuts time to begin closing before winter sets in.
This window also makes it easier to spot storm damage and weak branch unions that hid behind full summer foliage, while avoiding the extra stress that heavy pruning in peak summer heat can cause.
Cottonwoods and elms across the Denver metro area, both prone to dropping large limbs without warning, benefit especially from a late-summer inspection and selective pruning before the first fall winds arrive.
Scheduling now also means avoiding the backlog that builds once the weather turns and everyone calls at once.

Authentic photo preferred: a crew pruning a cottonwood or elm, or a before/after of a canopy cleaned up ahead of fall. Real seasonal job photos outperform generic pruning stock images.
