Depending on the needs of a homeowner and the target tree, our pruning may include any of the following steps:
- Correcting any previous poor pruning
- Removing deadwood and diseased wood
- Selectively removing crossing branches
- Raising the crown to provide more space under the tree
- Thinning the tree to create more light and air flow
In any given year, no more than 25% to 33% of a tree can be removed through pruning. Mature trees, in particular, are vulnerable to excessive pruning. Our experts will prune only as much as is safe to ensure that you enjoy the tree’s beauty for years to come.
Cabling
Proper cabling techniques can extend the life of trees with poor structure or weakened limbs. Although not all trees meet specific criteria in regards to cabling, whenever possible it is a practice we employ to save a tree rather than cut it down. And our cabling system relies on non-invasive techniques, so it won’t further compromise the integrity of your tree.
Removal
We love trees and truly appreciate the important role they play in enhancing our urban environment. Sometimes, however, a tree must be removed because it is hazardous, the incorrect size for its space, or in declining health.
