There is most definitely a strategy to trimming trees. If done the wrong way it can severely harm them and sometimes even kill them. Here are a few generic tips of how to prune properly, but keep in mind that different types of trees require different methods:
  • Only cut branches that are a third the size of the trunk or less, nothing larger. 
  • Do not remove more than 25% of the trees crown in one session.
  • Even everything out, do not have certain limbs longer than the other making it look deformed. 
  • Try to cut as little off the top as possible while still making it look rounded and freshly pruned. Shortening the tree too much can be harmful to it. 

Again these tips are just scratching the surface of how to properly trim and take care of your trees. Here are a few of the tree trimming services we offer: 
  1. Crown Thinning - This process consists of eliminating smaller branches and working your way towards the center of the tree. It is the most crucial aspect of pruning your trees because it opens up the crown allowing it to be properly ventilated. 
  2. Crown Lifting - This involves trimming the lower part of the trees limbs. It is done to eliminate long hanging branches making the tree look more aesthetic. It also helps balance the weight of the tree keeping it healthier.
  3. Crown Pollarding - All of the trees limbs and branches are cut back to the knuckle in this process. This technique is used for younger trees to help them grow and form properly. 
  4. Crown Reduction - Trees that have too much overgrowth need crown reduction. This technique is a last resort type of method. If the tree needs severe pruning them we will use the crown reduction technique.
