Tree Pruning
Tree pruning (also known as tree trimming) can greatly increase a tree's life and by regularly maintaining them we can greatly increase a trees beauty and decrease the risks it poses in the future.
Why Trim Your Trees?
- Promoting Tree Health: Trimming of dead, diseased, or overgrown branches allows the tree to allocate its resources efficiently, fostering overall health and longevity of the tree.
- Enhancing Aesthetics: Properly pruned trees improve the visual appearance of your property by giving them a well-groomed and attractive appeal.
- Safety and Hazard Reduction:
Trimming helps eliminate weak or unstable branches, reducing the risk of falling limbs. Falling limbs could potentially cause damage to property and pose a threat to people and pets. Properly pruned trees have a less chance for breakage during a storm.
- Sunlight and Air Circulation: Trees in their natural environment are used to competing for sunlight and tend to grow up, however trees in urban environments tend to grow more outward because they have so much room. Thinning the canopy enables more sunlight and air to penetrate through the branches, benefitting both the tree and the surrounding vegetation.
- Encouraging Fruit Production: Fruit-bearing trees yield better and more fruit when properly pruned, as it promotes proper growth and distribution of nutrients.
- Preventing Interference:
Trimming prevents tree branches from encroaching on utility lines, buildings, or other structures, avoiding potential damage and service disruptions.
- Disease and Pest Management: Removing infected or infested branches helps contain the spread of diseases and pests while safeguarding the tree's overall well-being and those trees around it.

Having the right tools matter!
"I will just trim this tree myself." Is what a lot of people say, and then they end up calling us. We have the climbing tools and machinery needed to make tree trimming a day job instead of a summer project. Along with having the right physical tools, our arborists have the knowledge of what limbs and branches need to be cut and where in order to best help the tree and surrounding environment.
