Fine Pruning

We specialize in fine pruning, focusing on safety, health, and aesthetics. Late winter or early spring are good times to prune before growth begins.

Tree pruning is an important practice that improves the health, safety and aesthetics of trees. It promotes proper tree growth, mitigates hazards, and adds to the vitality of the natural landscapes.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TREE PRUNING

Tree pruning contributes to the well-being  and safety of trees.

  • Pruning removes diseased and dead branches, which encourages healthier growth and prevents the spread of infections.
  • Pruning properly leads to strong branch structure and prevents weak, crowded, or crossing branches, which are prone to breaking during storms and heavy winds. 
  • Proper pruning shapes trees for a more pleasing appearance and improving their visual appeal.
  • Pruning encourages safety by eliminating hazardous branches that pose a risk to people and property. 
  • Pruning can increase sunlight penetration and air circulation within the canopy, which promotes better tree health and vigor.
