The Right Way to Prune Your Trees
Effective pruning requires more than just a saw; it demands a deep understanding of tree biology. Our team knows exactly how and when to prune each specific type of tree on your property to achieve the best results. We are proud to say we do not top trees.
This outdated and harmful practice can severely damage or kill beautiful, healthy trees. Instead, we focus on professional methods that benefit your trees for years to come.
Our professional pruning services can:
- Improve the overall health and structure of your trees.
- Increase sun exposure and air circulation through the canopy.
- Reduce the risk of falling branches and storm damage.
- Enhance the aesthetic appeal and value of your property.
- Provide necessary clearance for homes, power lines, and walkways.
Stop Topping Trees!
The Hidden Dangers of Topping.
A tree that has been topped can never fully regain its natural form. Topping is possibly the most harmful tree pruning practice known. Topping is the cutting of branches to stubs that are not large enough to assume the terminal role.
Why Not?
Topping removes much of the tree's foliage, dangerously reducing the tree's food-making ability. Topping removes the protective cover of the tree's canopy, exposing bark tissue to direct rays of the sun, resulting in shock and scalding. Topping leaves large exposed wounds on limbs. These limbs are now highly vulnerable to insects, diseases, and predisposes the tree to future health issues.
New branches or "shoots" form as a survival mechanism that grow from a stubbed limb and are weakly attached. These unappealing shoots are prone to break from high winds, snow, or ice weight and are more numerous and often grow higher than before.
Alternatives and Timing
Proper pruning is essential in developing trees with strong structures and will require less corrective pruning as they mature. Structural pruning, cleaning and thinning, raising canopies, and weight reduction are just a few pruning methods we use to remove dead or wounded limbs, reduce weight, improve the tree's health and structure, and provide safety. Many factors influence the appropriate timing of pruning. These factors include tree age, tree structure, size of branches to be pruned, a need for risk mitigation, goals for tree growth, and pest pressure
