Tree pruning

---

Many people don't realize the importance of tree pruning, and the benefits it provides. Tree pruning removes portions of your tree which have decay, disease, or fungi. Leaving these sections intact and compromised allows the issues to grow and spread to other areas of your tree which is when damage happens to your property. Tree pruning prevents these events from happening and greatly reduces the risks involved. 

We personally recommend a yearly inspection to determine whether or not it's needed, with a five  year period between pruning and trimming to ensure your trees structure isn't comprised and is in a healthy state. However, there are different variables we need to take into consideration when recommending a specific time cycle. Ask one of our professional tree experts, and we'd be happy to provide you an answer. 

We personally recommend leaving pruning to tree experts, pruning trees without the proper experience can create more stress than the tree can actually handle damaging your tree and potentially killing it over time. There are certain guidelines we follow to ensure we are safely and effectively pruning your tree to promote a strong structure and overall health to your tree. 

There are different signs that your tree needs to be pruned that you can use to determine this. If your tree is showing signs of weak branches, decay or rot on certain branches, or even too much growth occurring it's probably a safe bet that it's time to have your tree pruned. Give us a call if you are unsure, and we'd happily come out to determine this for you!
