PRUNING
There are many different types of pruning to meet your specific needs. We employ certified arborists to ensure proper pruning techniques.
Safety Pruning
The removal of cracked limbs, hangers, and deadwood.
Thinning
Add more sunlight to your yard by thinning out your trees without removing them. We selectively remove damaged, cracked limbs, deadwood and crossing branches as well as select branches or limbs. This allows the sun to penetrate through to your yard, which can also improve lawn growth.
Elevation
Are your tree branches growing too close to your roof, house wires, or the ground. Let us lift up the canopy and provide clearance to protect your home from roof damage, moss, loss of power, or just to walk under.
Height Reduction
Not all trees can be reduced in height. Younger trees can be managed before getting out of control. Topping of a mature tree can cause serious damage to the remaining part of the tree. Topping of mature trees is not recommended. Removing too much of a tree takes away the food for the winter hibernation period. New growth or water sprouts will occur, which in the beginning will look like the tree is flourishing. This new growth is in fact weaker and can break more easily in harsh winters or storms.
Ornamental Pruning
Shape your newly planted ornamental's to enhance the health and future shape of the tree. Shaping them at a young age will prevent them from growing out of control. Older trees that have never been pruned can still be prune. However, it is impossible to bring it back to the original size. Removing too much of a tree can cause serious shock and harm to the tree. Please remember, a tree is a living organism. You can give it a "haircut", but cutting too much will reduce its food supply and health.
