There are many reasons to prune a tree and many different options on how to prune them.

Deadwooding:

This service consists of removing the dead branches from a tree. This drastically improves the look of a tree and leaves it feeling safer with less likelihood of pieces braking out and falling.

General Pruning:

This service includes Deadwooding, lightening the canopy, removing rubbing branches, epicormic growth, and shaping the tree.

Reductions:

Reduction is a practice that reduces weight and length from the tips of branches. Doing so greatly reduces the force acting on the attachment point of the branch and leaves it less likely to breakout. It can also be preformed on an entire tree to help keep size in check, and provide security when structures, driveways or walking paths are nearby. This service includes General Pruning, when preformed on the entire tree.

Clearance:

Trees are not always in the ideal spot and what may have been fine when they were small could be problematic as they grow larger. If you have a tree reaching towards utility lines or getting close to rubbing on a wall or roof it is better to fix the problem before it starts.  The sooner we can start creating clearance, the healthier and better looking your tree will be in the future.

By making tree maintenance a priority, you can save money on costly repairs and replacements, and enjoy the benefits of healthy, beautiful trees on your property.
