Commercial & Residential Tree Trimming Services
Let us provide you with our professional tree trimming service. Pruning techniques There are specific types of pruning that help trees stay healthy, safe, and beautiful. -- Cleaning removes dead, dying, diseased, crowded, weakly attached, and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree. -- Thinning selectively removes branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown and reduces weight on heavy limbs to retain the tree’s natural shape. -- Raising removes lower branches from a tree to clear space for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and views. -- Reduction trims the height or spread of a tree by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to lateral branches that are large enough to assume the terminal roles (at least one-third the diameter of the cut stem). Compared to topping, this helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree. When to prune Most routine pruning to remove weak, diseased, or dead limbs can be done at any time of the year. But growth is maximized and wound closure is fastest if pruning occurs before the spring growth flush - when trees have just expended a great deal of energy to produce foliage and early shoot growth. Heavy pruning immediately after growth flush can stress the tree. Avoid pruning during active disease transmission periods. A few tree diseases, such as oak wilt, can be spread when pruning wounds allow spores to access a tree. Proper pruning cuts A pruning cut’s location is critical to a tree’s response in growth and wound closure. Pruning cuts should be made just outside the branch collar, which contains trunk or parent branch tissue that should not be damaged or removed. When removing a large limb, first reduce its weight to avoid tearing the bark make an undercut about 12-18 inches from the limb’s point of attachment. Then make a second cut from the top, directly above or a few inches further out on the limb. How much to prune The amount to remove depends on the tree size, species, and age, as well as pruning objectives. Younger trees can tolerate more pruning than mature trees. A tree can recover faster from several small pruning wounds than from one large wound. Removing just one, large-diameter limb can create a wound that the tree may not be able to close. The older and larger the tree, the less energy it has to close wounds and ward off decay or insects. Hiring an arborist Pruning large trees can be dangerous - it usually involves working above the ground and using power equipment. Ensure your safety, and that of your trees, by hiring a professional arborist.
