Trimming and Pruning

Trimming and Pruning Near Me

Too often tree and plant maintenance and upkeep are overlooked and disregarded. Many people do not realize that trimming and pruning is a crucial part of tree care as it promotes healthy growing practices. Tree trimming is considered one of the most important parts of tree maintenance and should be done regularly.

Many people also use the terms trimming and pruning interchangeably but did you know they are not the same thing? Trimming and pruning have very distinct differences. Pruning is when you remove the dead, loose, or infected branches or stems from a respective tree or plant. While trimming is when you are cutting back overgrown plants or branches on a tree to promote healthy growth.

Like many of our other services, trimming and pruning can be tempting to undertake on your own. Although, you might have noticed a theme here, it is not as easy as it looks and requires professional knowledge and techniques. We recommend leaving this to the experts!

There are many benefits to trimming or pruning your tree, including:

·      Proper growth and overall health

·      Appearance and aesthetics

·      Removing dead wood that is impeding growth

·      Pest and insect control

·      Protection

It is crucial to trim dead or dying limbs from a tree as they have a high risk of falling and potentially causing injuries, damage or destruction to your property. We focus on removing unhealthy or dangerous branches that are infected with insects or a disease that may spread to the entire tree or other trees on your property. We are also happy to remove branches that are in your way or you would like us to remove. We may also recommend trimming a healthy tree if it is large, to reduce the weight on the branches to make breakages less likely.

In additional to trimming and pruning, we also offer tree crown reduction. This is the reduction in height and/or spread of the crown (the foliage bearing portions) of a tree. Crown reduction may be used to reduce mechanical stress on individual branches or the whole tree, making the tree more suited to its immediate environment or to reduce the effects of shading and light loss.

Professionals provide the highest quality tree trimming and pruning services to help keep your trees maintain their structure and beauty. This job takes a great deal of skill and expertise and is not as easy as it looks. If you were to cut off random branches to thin out a tree or try to raise its canopy, you may end up damaging the tree and stunting its future growth. It takes special care to avoid damaging trees. We start our tree cutting activities from the treetop and after that continue down the truck. This is the optimal strategy for the tree’s wellness.
