For most shade trees, late fall through early spring minimizes heat stress and sap flow. Fast-growing desert natives—mesquite, palo verde, sissoo—benefit from an early-summer trim just before monsoon season to cut wind-sail and limb weight. Aim to finish heavy pruning by mid-June, before storms hit.

On typical Phoenix residential lots, you usually don’t need a city permit. Exceptions include right-of-way trees, certain protected species, or homes in historic districts/HOAs with their own rules. Not sure? We’ll verify regulations and handle any paperwork so you stay fully compliant.

Shallow-rooted or over-irrigated mesquites, top-heavy palo verdes, and unbalanced eucalyptus are the usual casualties. Keep them stable with deep-root watering and structural pruning that removes weak co-dominant leaders and excess weight before high winds arrive.

Deep-soak mature trees to a 3-foot soil depth about every 10–14 days in summer; young transplants need weekly watering. Let the soil dry between cycles—use a soil probe to confirm depth—then water in the early morning (4-6 a.m.) for best uptake and minimal evaporation.
