Tree Pruning
& Trimming
Healthier trees. Safer property. Professional pruning that protects your trees and enhances their natural beauty.
Pruning Done Right Extends the Life of Your Trees
Professional pruning isn't just about aesthetics — it's about the long-term health and structural integrity of your trees. Whether it's removing dead branches from a large oak or shaping overgrown trees, Kohnen's pruning work is designed to protect the tree and the property around it.
Every cut is deliberate. We don't just hack branches — we assess the tree's structure, identify problem areas, and make precise cuts that promote healthy growth while eliminating hazards.
Types of Pruning
We Perform
Dead Branch Removal
Removing dead, dying, or diseased branches before they become a safety hazard. Prevents falling limbs that could damage structures, vehicles, or injure people.
Crown Thinning
Selectively removing interior branches to increase light penetration and air circulation. Reduces weight on heavy limbs and lowers wind resistance during storms.
Crown Raising
Removing lower branches to provide clearance for walkways, driveways, structures, and sight lines. Essential for maintaining usable space beneath mature trees.
Clearance Pruning
Trimming branches away from structures, power lines, rooflines, and fences. Prevents costly damage and maintains safe distances between trees and property.

Benefits of Professional
Tree Pruning
Improved Tree Health
Removing dead and diseased branches prevents decay from spreading through the tree. Proper pruning promotes stronger growth patterns and extends the tree's lifespan.
Enhanced Property Safety
Dead branches fall without warning. Overextended limbs snap in storms. Regular pruning eliminates these hazards before they cause damage to your home, vehicles, or family. Already dealing with storm-damaged limbs? We handle urgent tree removal after a storm on the same day.
Better Light & Airflow
Thinning dense canopies allows more sunlight to reach your lawn and garden. Improved air circulation reduces moisture buildup that leads to fungal disease.
Increased Property Value
Well-maintained trees are a major asset. Professional pruning preserves your tree's natural beauty and form, boosting your property's curb appeal and overall value.
When to Prune Your
Trees in Wichita
Timing matters. Here's when different pruning work is most effective for Kansas trees.
Winter
Best for Most PruningDormant-season pruning is ideal for most species. Trees are leafless, making structure easy to assess. Less stress on the tree and lower disease risk.
Spring
After Bloom for OrnamentalsPrune spring-flowering trees right after they bloom. This preserves next year's flowers. Also ideal for removing winter storm damage before growth begins.
Summer
Corrective & Safety PruningSummer pruning is effective for slowing growth on specific branches and correcting structural problems. Also the best time to remove dead branches — they're easiest to spot.
Fall
Avoid Major PruningFall pruning is generally not recommended. Cuts heal slowly as trees prepare for dormancy, and fungal diseases spread more easily. Limit work to hazard removal only.
I couldn't be happier with the Kohnen's!! My big oak tree was riddled with big, dead branches. The initial consultation & the consultation this morning were the same, everything was cleaned up and the price was RIGHT!! I HIGHLY recommend!!

Professional pruning actually improves tree health. We make precise cuts that promote healing and healthy growth. What harms trees is improper pruning — topping, lion-tailing, or leaving flush cuts. Kohnen's follows proper arboricultural practices on every job.
Most mature trees benefit from pruning every 3–5 years. Younger trees may need more frequent structural pruning to develop strong branch patterns. We'll recommend the right schedule during your free assessment.
