Your trees need structural pruning and dead wooding once a year to keep their growth in check, as well as to protect your property and home. Tree removal is another important part of what we do to keep your landscape beautiful. Removing dead and diseased trees can help stop the spread of disease.
Stump Grinding and Removal
Crown Reduction
Sometimes a tree will grow too large for the space it occupies. There are two solutions when this happens: removal and replacement with a tree that will not overgrow its allotted area, or a pruning technique known as crown reduction. This second alternative is called drop crotch pruning and should be used only as a last resort. This method involves a thinning of the living crown and can result in damage to the stems. This can lead to decay and eventual loss of the tree anyway. Still, it is preferred to "topping" which can place more stress on the tree. The crown reduction method also helps to retain the shape of the tree and allows more time to pass between its use and the next needed pruning.
Tree Pruning - Seasonal trimming for a healthy tree. It is all about the strength of a young tree's structure. New trees should be pruned with long term health in mind. This means favoring overall strength at first and then going for an emphasis on form an appearance as the tree matures. In later years, these earlier concerns should be based on maintaining the soundness of structure. The location where one branch attaches to another is called the node. This is the point at which a proper pruning cut should be made. During the growth part of the year, buds form and eventually turn into twigs. They will grow, forming nodes. The branch area between one node and the next is called the internode.
