Structural Pruning
Structural tree pruning offers a range of benefits that contribute to the health, aesthetics, and safety of trees and their surrounding environment. By selectively removing or reducing certain branches, structural pruning helps establish & maintain a strong & desirable framework for the tree’s future growth. This proactive approach encourages sturdy branch architecture and works to maximize the tree’s suitability for its site.
Crown Cleaning
“Crown cleaning” is a type of structural pruning aimed primarily at mitigating hazards by removing dead, diseased, or problematic crossing branches that may pose a safety risk to property and people.
Enhancing the tree’s structural integrity & safety through pruning can promote longevity, reduce the likelihood of storm damage, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the tree, making it a more valuable asset to your landscape for years to come.
Dormant Season Pruning
Certain species of trees—including oaks, elms, & fruit trees—should only be pruned during dormancy (i.e. between November & March), due to the risk of disease transmission during the growing season.
Additionally, with the leaves absent, the tree’s structure is more visible, which can help with assessment of precise pruning decisions to improve a tree’s structure. Pruning fruit trees can help promote better fruit production & tree health by stimulating lateral growth, while also ensuring proper air circulation and light penetration.
Please call us any time of year to discuss dormant season pruning and we can add you to our queue of work to begin once November rolls around!
Cabling
In certain situations, cabling & other support systems can offer benefits for both a tree and its surrounding environment. By providing additional support to weak or structurally compromised limbs, cabling can help reduce the risk of major limb failure during storms, high winds, or snow loads—thereby enhancing safety for nearby structures and people. Cabling can also promote the longevity of the tree by mitigating the potential for branch breakage and the decay introduced by large wounds. Cabling & support systems are generally always installed in conjunction with specific pruning for risk reduction.
