Tree Trimming & Pruning

Proper tree care is an investment which can lead to substantial returns. Well-cared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property. Poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Pruning or trimming trees, especially large trees, can be dangerous work. Tree work should only be done by those trained and equipped to work safely in trees.

The arborist can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees. These techniques include:

• Eliminating branches that rub each other.
• Removing limbs that interfere with wires, building facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys, or windows, or that obstruct streets or sidewalks.
• Removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to decay.
• Removing diseased or insect-infested limbs.
• Creating better structure to lessen wind resistance and reduce the potential for storm damage.
• Training young trees.
• Removing limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions.
• Thinning or removal of unnecessary branches.
• Improving the shape or silhouette of the tree.
