Tree Trimming & Pruning
Keep Your Trees Healthy
Trimming and pruning trees is an art form, as well as a science. Proper trimming and pruning of trees requires specialized experience and knowledge of tree species, biology, species specific growth patterns and structural flaws as well as knowledge on how to eliminate or minimize defects without hindering the health of the tree.
The most common type of tree maintenance is pruning. Although in nature, trees grow without human interference, landscape trees require more care to maintain structural integrity for safety and aesthetics.
The process of pruning trees often involves removal of deadwood as well as other trimming modalities listed below to enhance the beauty and health of trees. The crown of a tree is the trees aboveground parts, including stems, leaves, and branches.
Our trimming/pruning services include:
Deadwood removal: Removing dead, diseased and broken branches. Unless noted otherwise, deadwood removal will include branches 1 inch or greater in diameter throughout the crown.
Crown raising: Pruning to provide vertical clearance between the ground, and the lowest branches.
Ground reduction: Pruning to decrease height and width of crown.
Crown thinning: Pruning to reduce weight and density of the crown.
Structural pruning: Pruning to improve branch architecture and structural integrity.
Crown restoration: Pruning to improve structure, form and appearance of storm damaged or vandalized trees.
Vista pruning: Pruning to allow for specific view.
Directional pruning: Pruning to encourage growth of a tree in a specific direction typically away from buildings, wires or other trees.
