TYPES OF TREE PRUNING SERVICES

Reasons:

There are many different reasons to prune trees and each one may require its own specific approach to pruning. The major reasons for pruning a tree are:

Safety:

If we are pruning your tree primarily for safety, our main goal is to remove dead or overtaxed branches that could break off and fall at any moment, damaging your home or a family member who happens to be below. We will also remove branches that may have grown to potentially interfere with power lines or block your driveway, risking damage to your vehicle. Street tree pruning is also necessary to ensure that driver’s are provided with safe travel environments.

Health:

If you have sick, rotting or insect-infested wood, you will want us to get rid of it as soon as possible. Removing this diseased wood will allow your tree to continue to grow in a healthy fashion and help it better withstand challenging weather conditions.

Aesthetics:

Gnarled and twisting branches are often unattractive, especially on huge trees. They also can block your view of the rest of the landscape or the surrounding environment. We can prune your tree so that it looks better and more natural, stimulates flower production and improves your view of your surroundings.

Structure:

If you have young trees that you wish to grow into big and healthy ones the right way, we can prune to correct the growth rate, branch spacing, strength of attachment and other features related to proper growth.

Cleaning:

We can clean up your tree by removing dead, falling-off or sick branches while leaving the live, healthy branches unharmed.

Thinning:

Too much branch crowding can block light and circulation and increase stress on the tree. Thinning can give your tree a little more room to breathe and take in sunlight.

Restoration:

We can use pruning techniques to improve the appearance and structure of trees that someone has vandalized or that have become damaged by weather or some other circumstance.

FAQs

Pruning is essential for maintaining the health and appearance of a tree. Here are some signs and situations indicating that a tree needs pruning:

  • Dead or Diseased Branches: If you notice branches that are dead, diseased, or damaged.

  • Crossing Branches: Branches that rub against each other can cause wounds, leading to disease and pest infestations. 

  • Density: If the tree’s canopy is too dense, it can block sunlight and airflow, which is detrimental to the tree’s health and the plants below it.

  • Shape and Structure: Pruning helps maintain the desired shape and structure of a tree, especially for young trees.

  • Growth Directions: Branches growing in the wrong direction, such as toward structures, other trees, or power lines.

  • Water Sprouts and Suckers: These are vigorous shoots that grow from the root base or along branches. They can drain energy from the tree.

  • Safety Concerns: Branches that pose a safety hazard, such as those overhanging sidewalks, driveways, or roofs.

The frequency of tree pruning depends on the type of tree, its age, and its condition. Generally, most trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, while younger trees might require more frequent attention to shape and train their growth.
