Fall in Redding and Shasta County brings a big shift in the landscape. The dry, hot summer gives way to cooler days and the first rains. With that change comes new risks for trees. Limbs that seemed stable in July may suddenly snap under October winds, and fast-growing shade trees like fruitless Mulberries can put real stress on fences, roofs, and yards if they aren’t maintained.
That’s why seasonal tree maintenance in Redding, CA is so important. Fall is considered the most critical tree care season in Northern California. Trimming, reductions, and pollarding done now help protect your property through winter storms while giving your trees the best chance to thrive when spring growth returns.
At Eddy’s Tree Service, we provide professional, affordable tree care tailored to Redding homeowners—including fall tree trimming, storm damage prevention tree trimming, and pollarding fruitless Mulberries.
Tree growth slows as temperatures cool, which means cuts heal more easily, pests are less active, and the tree experiences less stress. Pruning trees in the fall offers several important benefits for Redding homeowners. Dormant season trimming supports healthier growth because trees experience less stress, which helps prevent shock and disease. Fall is also the best time to prepare for seasonal storms since strong winds and heavy rains can turn overgrown branches into dangerous hazards. Many properties in the Redding area are still dealing with fire-damaged or weakened trees, making professional care essential for safety and recovery. In addition, proactive trimming near power lines helps maintain clearance and reduces the risk of sudden last-minute utility cuts from PG&E crews.
Eddy’s team sees the same issues year after year in Redding neighborhoods: overgrown Mulberries shading entire driveways, storm-damaged oaks threatening power lines, and large limb reductions in Redding, CA needed on trees planted too close to homes.
Fruitless Mulberries are beloved for their broad summer shade, but without proper pollarding they quickly become overgrown and unstable. Pollarding involves cutting branches back to a controlled framework, encouraging healthy regrowth while preventing dangerous weight on the canopy.
Why it’s critical for Mulberries:
Fruitless Mulberries can surprise you with how quickly they grow. Pollarding every year or two in the fall keeps them safe and manageable.
All trees benefit from seasonal trimming, not just Mulberries. Fall trimming is especially important for oaks, sycamores, walnuts, and other large shade trees common in Shasta County.

When a tree outgrows its space, reduction is the answer. Unlike topping which is harmful, reductions strategically cut branches back to healthy growth points.
Why homeowners choose tree reduction services in Redding:
Understanding why fall tree care is important helps homeowners make informed decisions about their landscape. By the time fall arrives, trees have already stored energy in their roots, so trimming does not deplete their reserves. Sap flow naturally slows down during this season, which means pruning cuts bleed less and reduce the risk of pests or disease. With leaves gone, the branch structure is clearly visible, allowing arborists to assess the true shape of the tree and make precise cuts. Pruning before full dormancy also sets the stage for controlled, healthy regrowth when spring returns. For these reasons, professional tree pruning in Shasta County during fall is far more effective and beneficial than DIY trimming in the summer months.
Late October through November is ideal, when the tree slows growth and before winter storms hit.
Every 1–2 years, depending on size and growth rate.
Reductions maintain health and structure. Topping is harmful and can shorten a tree’s lifespan.
Small cleanup is fine, but heavy trimming, reductions, and pollarding should be left to licensed professionals.
