Keeping Trees Beautiful and Safe

Regular pruning and trimming is great for several reasons including:

  • Tree Health: Removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches.
  • Growth: Proper pruning encourages strong, balanced growth. Great for flowering or fruit production.
  • Safety: Removes hazardous branches that could fall and cause damage or injury.
  • Aesthetics: Shaping trees or hedges to complement your landscape.
  • Structural integrity: Correct structural issues to prevent problems such as weak branches.

 

Different types of cuts are used to achieve specific outcomes, for example, crown lifts and thinning can reduce the height of your trees and allow more light through. This is ideal for large trees in suburban locations, without needing to remove the trees. 

When Should Trees & Hedges be Pruned?

The best time to prune or trim trees depends on the type of tree and your goals. Winter is best for most deciduous trees (trees that lose their leaves) as they are easier to manage. Spring is great for trees that bloom on new wood, while summer is suitable for light pruning of dead or damaged branches.  For specific timing, get in touch with our team.
