TREE PRUNING in New York

Since New York trees are not in the forest, and can’t grow as much and as high as they’d like, it’s essential to trim them often. In a populated suburban city such as Manhattan, this type of unchecked growth can not only present a safety hazard but also may be dangerous for the tree. Our highly-trained, fully licensed arborists can expertly prune your trees to stimulate their growth and promote their health while leaving you with a safe, beautiful tree for your property.

Overhanging Trees On Neighbors Yard

One common question we receive is about pruning and tree removal services on shared property lines. Mature trees often extend over a shared fence or property line, with branches overhanging into a neighbor’s yard. So, how do you handle branches hanging into your neighbors yard and vice versa? Let us break it down for you:

  • When dealing with branches from your neighbor’s tree encroaching on your property line, you have the right to trim them back to your property line without needing their permission.
  • If you plan to fully remove a tree that is either in your neighbor’s yard or crosses the boundary line, you must get their consent. This involves a consent form that requires signatures from both parties.

tree pruning reasons and services

Wondering how to tell whether your tree needs pruning? Pruning keeps your trees healthy, safe, and looking their best. Here are the key signs that let you know it’s time to prune:

  • Dead or Diseased Branches:  Try to observe dead, damaged, or diseased branches. They should be cleared to prevent the spread of a disease in a tree and enhance its health.
  • Crossing or Rubbing Branches: These are the branches that one way or another cross or rub against one another. This can cause wounds to the tree. It can result in diseases and insect infestation. Pruning ensures the avoidance of such issues.
  • Too-Dense Canopy: A thick canopy allows for poor sunlight; restriction of air is not good for the tree and the plants around it. Pruning allows for adequate light infiltration through the canopy and, simultaneously, improves aeration.
  • Poor Form or Structure: Pruning is one of the most relevant ways of building an assemblage in trees, especially when they are young. If your tree is uneven, then it is very necessary to prune the plants to guide the right structure and shape.
  • Branches that grow in wrong directions: When you find branches reaching too close to any structure, power lines, or other trees, it is time they are pruned back so that all possibilities of hazard are avoided.
  • Water Sprouts and Suckers: These are fast-growing vigorous shoots starving a tree of its energy. It is important to remove them during pruning to keep the vitality of the tree intact.
  • Safety: The branches that hang over the sidewalks, driveways, and above the rooftops may be dangerous for people in many ways. These should be pruned to avoid a lot of fatal incidents and destruction of property.

Pruning for trees is generally performed periodically for maintenance and aesthetics in New York or Brooklyn. Younger, developing trees need pruning every 2-3 years for structural development. As a tree grows, reaching maturity, its pruning requirement will decrease to every 3-5 years. A fully matured tree may need pruning only every 5-10 years.

Except for some fruit trees, which normally require annual pruning to promote superior fruiting, evergreens are generally pruned much less frequently, except when dead or diseased branches need attention.

Regular inspection will be required to determine the timing of such attention since factors such as growth rate, species, and structural health will come into play in determining the best schedule.

If a tree has overgrown branches near your house, it’s important to address the issue quickly to prevent potential damage during storms or high winds. Large branch removal can be performed safely and same-day by the professionals at GreenLeaf Tree Removal.

Large branch removal should be considered when branches are dead, diseased, or pose a safety risk. Additionally, if a branch is obstructing walkways, driveways, or structures, it’s important to remove it to prevent potential damage or injury.
