Tree Pruning
Tree pruning is more than just a maintenance and landscaping task—it’s a vital practice that nurtures your trees. Tree trimming and maintenance drastically helps the health and beauty of your trees – it’s really multiple jobs in one!
Trimming removes dead and diseased branches, which strengthens the structural integrity and removes potential hazards. By carefully choosing which branches to trim, we allow for better air circulation and sunlight penetration.
GreenLeaf tree trimming services are well-known for providing reliable, affordable, high-quality landscaping services to our New York customers. As proud members of the Tree Care Industry Association, we take our tree care responsibilities very seriously.

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 Queens, 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
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 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 extreme 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, stimulating flower production and improving your view.
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
How do I know when a tree needs pruning?
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.
How often should trees be trimmed?
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.
What should I do if a tree has overgrown branches near my house?
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.
When should I consider large branch removal?
