Tree Pruning & Tree Trimming

We typically perform tree trimming for one of the following reasons:
​

• Aesthetics – Trimming or pruning a tree helps remove dead and broken limbs while effectively maintaining its shape and appearance. No need to risk damaging the tree by imposing an unnatural shape or size but regular maintenance will keep a tree looking and feeling its best.
• Safety – Dead or broken branches at risk of falling are a serious hazard.  Tree limbs in the vicinity of power lines must be controlled to avoid contact. Tree branches which obstruct your vision while driving should also be trimmed immediately. 
• Health – It is sometimes possible to save an infected tree by strategically pruning away affected branches and limbs. Thinning the crown of a tree improves airflow, which can be very beneficial. If branches are crossing or rubbing together, they should be trimmed, or removed so that they don’t fall unexpectedly.

• Advantages of Tree Trimming

There are many benefits of tree trimming. Not only does it improve the appearance of the tree and minimize any potential damage but it also benefits the overall health of the tree. Regular pruning exposes more of the tree to sunlight and increases photosynthesis. Removing dead branches allows the tree to distribute nutrients more efficiently, balancing out any root loss your tree may be experiencing. This is a cost effective way to detect any diseases affecting your tree, avoid potential hazards, and add value to your property. 

​We recommend trimming or pruning a tree during its dormant season. This minimizese stress on a tree gives it more time to heal during warmer months. The only exception is when a hazard exists.

Pruning Trees in the Winter
Proper pruning after the coldest part of the winter is the most common practice and leads to vigorous new growth in the spring which is the most natural way for a tree to grow. Some trees like birch, maple, walnut may bleed where the sap runs down but this is normal and will stop as the tree heals.

Pruning Trees in the Summer
To stop a tree from growing out of control, proper pruning may be required after the rapid growth stage in the spring. By reducing the surface area of leaves, you will be able to effectively dwarf the tree and maintain it at a manageable size. 

Pruning Trees in the Fall
Spores and fungi may spread more rapidly if pruning is done in the fall.
