Tree Pruning

Tree pruning involves removing specific branches or larger limbs from a tree. It is beneficial for the trees on your property because dead or unwanted branches can detract from the tree's beauty, negatively affect the tree’s structure, and sometimes cause disease. Tree pruning is also a great way to encourage new, healthy growth.

But there is more to pruning than just loping unwanted branches. When done correctly, specific methods are used, and if they are not applied correctly, this can ruin the shape and health of the tree. Tree pruning has several benefits, including:

Improves trees’ appearance
Increases their lifespan
Minimizes the risk of disease
Increase healthy growth
Lowers the risk of property damage in bad weather
Helps trees to stay structurally sound

Our shrub and tree pruning services cover the following:

Oak trees: These trees improve air quality and provide birds with food and shelter. They can also stabilize the soil where they grow. If you have oak trees in your garden, we recommend pruning them every two to three years to ensure they remain well-maintained and the branches don’t grow too long or thin.
Maple trees: Maple trees come in a wide variety and grow relatively quickly. They provide magnificent shapes and colors. Pruning maples helps them retain their shape and structure and helps to keep them in a manageable size.
Rose bushes: Rose bushes can provide beautiful color, abundant blooms, and delicate scents to your garden. Pruning promotes flowering and prevents disease.
Hedges: Hedges are a great way to provide privacy or delineate areas of your landscape. If they’re not regularly pruned, this can prevent sunlight from penetrating them and stunt their growth.

If you are concerned about the trees on your property and they are not listed here, contact us. We will be happy to come out and evaluate your trees on-site and discuss how our pruning services can benefit your landscape.

Ornamental Shrub Trimming

Ornamental shrubs are grown specifically for the beauty of their foliage, form, or blooms. Popular ornamental shrubs include Azaleas, Rhododendron, Viburnum, and Forsythia. Ornamental shrub trimming is the process of removing dead, diseased, or broken branches. As well as maintaining the plants’ health and aesthetics, ornamental shrub trimming controls growth and encourages flower production.

We offer the following types of pruning methods:

Crown thinning: Opening a tree or shrub’s canopy to air and sunlight allows the tree to grow and provides light to the ground below.
Deadwood removal: Removing dead limbs and branches makes the tree or shrub look more appealing and reduces the risk of damage from falling limbs.
Shaping: This technique strengthens the structure and improves the long-term health of trees and shrubs.
