How much is too much when it comes to thinning out live growth in the crown of your trees? At Donegan’s Tree Service, we are committed to maintaining the health of every tree and we recommend that no more than 1/3 of the live growth should ever be removed in one growing season.

We are nearing the end of 2022, so don’t forget that it’s time for your trees to be pruned so that they can enter the New Year with a fresh haircut. We recommend giving us a call or requesting an estimate so that one of our ISA Certified Arborists can assess the job and give you an estimate for tree pruning or removal.

Trees should be pruned to maintain their health. It is one of the most important maintenance services you can schedule for your trees.

After what seems to be a never-ending summer, fall is right around the corner. Did you know that most of all the trees in our area can have their limbs pruned at any time of the year? It’s true, but most people like to have their trees pruned during the fall season.

It has been brought to our attention that the Spotted Lanternfly has arrived in the Loudoun area. We have seen adult Spotted Lanternflies first hand in the Leesburg area. They are quick and easily startled, but if you come across one, please try to kill it, take a picture of it and share it with us.

Unfortunately the Spotted Lanternfly isn’t the only insect we need to be concerned about this fall. There is another bug that can damage to your trees — the Ambrosia Beetle.
