Tree Pruning
Believe it or not, tree pruning isn’t something “just anybody” can or should attempt…unless you just don’t care about trees! Trees are living things, and they actually respond to how they’re pruned—sometimes favorably…sometimes negatively. Tree pruning is best performed by or at least overseen by a Certified Arborist who understands the proper ways to prune different kinds of trees. Tree pruning can be taken care of any time of year, and consists of four basic actions:
Crown Thinning – Removal of dead, dying, diseased or weakly attached branches. This also includes selective removal of branches to allow for greater passage of sunlight, air movement, and to reduce weight stress on the tree. Crown thinning also entails removing limbs that rub together or against other trees or objects.
Crown Raising – Removing lower branches to a specified height.
Crown Reduction – Better for a tree than “topping” it, crown reduction involves removing the longest portion of a limb back to a lateral, as a way of lessening the top or sides of the crown.
Cabling – Cabling serves to limit movement of heavy limbs that could ultimately reach their breaking point. Cabling seeks to prolong the life of the tree.
Tree Removal
Sometimes, unfortunately, it’s necessary to remove a tree. There are a number of reasons tree removal could be required. From disease or decay to weak and/or split boughs or other portions of the tree, or if you have trees that are causing foundation damage or some other part of your house or structures of any variety…or when trees come dangerously close to falling—especially older, larger trees—there’s no sense postponing tree removal as directed by a tree service expert such as a Certified Arborist. Such an expert can confidently assess the health of problem trees and determine your best course of action.
