Professional Tree Pruning for Healthier, Safer Gardens
We tailor our pruning recommendations to suit each tree's unique needs,
considering species, health, age, size, and the property owner's objectives. Our approach aims to preserve as much live foliage as possible, facilitating the tree's recovery post-pruning. We believe in gradual, thoughtful pruning rather than drastic cuts, aligning our efforts with nature's rhythms for optimal tree health.
Our pruning services include four main types per the ANSI A-300 Pruning Standard:
- Clean: We meticulously remove dead, diseased, or broken branches. This basic yet essential service is crucial for the health and safety of your trees, especially in areas frequented by children and pets. Removing potential hazards allows trees to heal naturally, preventing decay and insect infestation.
- Raise: To enhance vertical clearance, we carefully prune away branches that obstruct paths for people and vehicles or block ambient light. This selective pruning ensures your space remains accessible and bright.
- Reduce: Our targeted pruning aims to control a tree's height and spread, particularly to distance it from structures or maintain an ornamental tree's desired shape. We minimize live foliage removal to support the tree's recovery, always considering the landscape's overall vision.
- Thin: By selectively thinning live branches, we improve airflow through the crown and restore the tree's natural form. While thinning can revitalize neglected, dense crowns, we avoid excessive thinning to prevent stress on the tree.
We balance the pruning goals with the tree's health, never removing more than 25% of the live crown in a single season, following ANSI A300 Best Management Practices. This careful balance ensures the well-being of your trees while achieving your landscape's aesthetic and functional goals.
