What Is Pruning?
Shrubs and trees grow free in the forest. They can spread their limbs out and reach their branches as high as possible. Trees in our yards and along the streets don’t have this freedom because keeping trees properly trimmed is important to ensure they grow strong. Weak limbs in the forest can fall without fear, but weak tree limbs in a neighborhood are a safety hazard. Pruning selectively removes branches from your trees. Our service professionals know the best techniques to prune your tree correctly.
Why Is Pruning Important?
Greenery is vital to your landscaping health. Trees are a part of your landscaping that give shade to the property and offer a beautiful look. It’s important to keep your trees healthy and strong. Our service professionals will also prune your shrubs to ensure they are symmetric and healthy. Some of the most significant benefits of tree pruning include the following:
- Increases their lifespan
- Improves their health
- Boosts their appearance
- Increases growth by letting in more sunlight
- Reduces the likelihood of disease
- Lowers the chance of property damage or hazards due to falling limbs
- Enhances the structure of the tree
Best Time of Year to Prune
Our service professionals recommend pruning between late fall and early spring. Dormant pruning in the late fall or early winter helps save time and money by boosting disease management. It’s vital to know the best times to prune your shrubs and trees to enhance their growth potential and keep them healthy.

Difference Between Shearing & Pruning
Pruning and trimming help promote tree health and contain its development. Shearing is more about the appearance of your trees and shrubs. Pruning helps to prioritize airflow, while shearing creates a thick wall on the plant’s exterior. Pruning focuses on eliminating loose, dead, and infected branches. Shearing helps shape your plants and trees for the perfect look. Our landscaping experts are trained to properly prune your tree to enhance its beauty and health at the same time.
