SERVICE SPOTLIGHT:
TREE PRUNING
Are you interested in preserving you tree? Your tree can benefit you in many ways if you keep it well maintained.
Proper pruning techniques and pruning cuts can help your tree to thrive and remain healthy. Every tree has different needs based on the species, size, age, location, and health. Below are some of the options to think about when contemplating pruning your tree:
Elevation: This is a removal of lower branches
to a desired height.
Clearance: This creates a desired space
between your tree and other structures.
Deadwood: This cleans up a tree as well as
promotes new growth.
Thinning: This allows more airflow through
the canopy.
Crossing Branches: This is a removal of branches
that are overlapping each other.
Stubs: This is a removal of stubs left from broken
branches or improper pruning.
Structure prune: This encourages healthier growth in younger trees.
Safety Prune: This is the removal of larger dead branches that could be potentially harmful.
