Tree Pruning
Proper pruning methods
Trees require a high level of care to maintain structural integrity and aesthetic. Improper pruning can create lasting damage with devastating consequences. Each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree. An understanding of tree biology is essential for beneficial tree pruning/tree trimming.
Reasons for pruning
Removing dead branches, improving form, and reducing risks are all common reasons for tree pruning/tree trimming. Crown raising, thinning, and cleaning are all used to meet pruning goals.
When to prune
Growth and wound closure is best if tree pruning/tree trimming is done prior to spring growth flush. That being said, most routine pruning/trimming can be done at any time with little adverse affect on the tree.
Pruning techniques
Tree pruning/tree trimming - Cleaning removes dead, dying, broken or diseased branches. Thinning removes select branches to increase air and light penetration. Raising removes lower branches to provide clearances. Reduction reduces the size of a tree, while maintaining the form and structural integrity of the tree.
Pruning young trees
Properly pruning young trees helps to develop a strong structure, and good form. Training young trees will require less corrective tree pruning/tree trimming as they mature.
Don't Top Trees! Have a crown reduction done instead.
Topping is the most harmful tree pruning/tree trimming practice known. When the size of a tree must be reduced, the recommended technique of crown reduction preserves the natural form and structural integrity of the tree.
Tree Removal
Reasons to remove a tree
Hazardous trees, over crowding, mess concerns, and tree location can all contribute to tree removal reasons. Regardless of why a tree needs to be removed, removal done safely takes specialized equipment and knowledge.
Tree removal methods
The available space around a tree, surrounding structures, and tree health determine which method is used to remove it. Advanced rigging and tree felling techniques are both exercised with extreme caution during tree removal
Hazardous tree removal
A certified arborist can help assess the risk a hazardous tree poses. Removal of hazardous trees takes additional time, care and calculations. These tasks should always be entrusted to tree removal professionals.
Things to consider
A lot of thought and planning goes in to removing a tree. Before any cutting begins you must acquire any permits necessary, ensure utilities aren’t an issue, coordinate with your neighbors, work out clean up details, and trust that you have hired the right people for the tree removal job.
Stump removal
After a tree is removed, the stump remains. Tree stumps can hang around for years, sometimes sprouting new unwanted growth. Stump removal should be discussed and understood anytime tree removal is necessary.
