Tree pruning is done for a variety of reasons: from preventing animals having access to your house to making your landscape cleaner and neater.
- In general, trees should be pruned at least every two years.
- Climbing spikes should never be used when pruning trees since they damage the tree. This is why we NEVER use them.
- Unlike other companies, we prune trees from the inside out, using a rope system rather than the limited bucket approach.
- We also never cut off the top of a tree, also known as tree topping because it can easily kill a tree. We prefer "crown reduction" which reduces the number of branches at or near the treetop. This is far less damaging.
Benefits of pruning:
- Makes your trees healthier by getting rid of damaged or dead branches
- Increases the air flow in the tree which decreases the number of insects
- Eliminates interior cross and rubbing branches so the energy goes to the exterior of the tree
- Cutting lower limbs and/or thinning the interior of the tree allows sunlight to penetrate and helps grass under the tree grow.
- Improves the overall aesthetics of your property.
Reasons for pruning:
- Getting rid of dead or damaged limbs which could fall and cause damage to your property or an individual
- General clean-up needed
- Limbs hanging over the roofline
- Limbs staining the roof
- Limbs clogging the gutters
- Limbs brushing and staining wood siding
- Limbs blocking a satellite dish
- Preventing animals from having access to your house
- Grass dying around trees
