When to Trim in Birmingham
Dormant-season work (late winter) remains the default for structural cuts; live-growth shaping is safer once spring flush hardens off. Ask any Birmingham bidder to name the pruning standard they cut to (ANSI A300) and whether an ISA-credentialed arborist reviews the plan — our vetting standards explain what each credential actually covers.
