Tree Pruning Atlanta
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.
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
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.
