Tree Trimming and Pruning

Trimming and Dead Wooding

Within the realm of proper tree care, trimming and pruning are very important for a healthy tree.
Trimming improves the health of trees, increases the natural beauty of the tree and the surrounding area by encouraging strong branch structure, and prevents property damage from low hanging limbs or overgrowth. Dead wooding is a process of going through your tree and removing any dead or dying branches so that they don’t become hazardous and fall on someone. Periodically trimming trees promotes proper growth and strengthens the tree's structure which not only makes it more aesthetically pleasing, but also prevents the issues that come along with weakened and broken branches.
Good tree maintenance can help reduce the risk of a headache in the future!

This work is recommended to be performed in the Fall to Winter time frame. The leaves fall, sap retreats, and the tree enters its dormant season during this time, conserving its energy for Spring. This is the proper season to remove any branches without harming the tree or causing it any stress that could potentially kill it. Trimming in the proper season also prevents the spread of disease and decreases to risk of an overabundance of “sucker limbs” that tend of make the tree very bushy in places it shouldn’t be since the tree is able to recover from the cuts while it isn’t actively producing sap.

Topping

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT TOP TREES. It is unhealthy and dramatically increases the risk of killing the tree. This is a long-gone practice that we do not condone due to the unnecessary stress it inflicts on the tree. We can gladly offer you a healthier trimming alternative within your budget. Your tree will thank you.
