Cleaning

The crown of a tree needs to be cleaned out when there is damaged or diseased branches. Overcrowding is another reason for cleaning. Branches that rub can prevent proper growth and structure within a tree. This can also lead to long term issues like decay and eventually tree failure. Pruning can help correct this naturally occurring issue.

Thinning

The most common reason for thinning is to allow light penetration to the lower leaves or surrounding plants.

Raising

Low hanging branches can be removed to create clearance off of windows, roofs, playsets, etc.

Reduction

Although we want what is best for your trees, sometimes they need to be reduced to fit better within their surroundings. Service lines, roofs, windows and other trees are just some examples of when a reduction could be needed.

Promotion of Separation

Plants need adequate space and light to grow, by providing separation you not only have a clearly visible variety of species but you also create a healthy living space for each planting.

Pruning for Fruit Crop

Fruiting trees and shrubs need to be pruned at specific times to promote fruiting and new growth. Each species has a separate technique for a long healthy crop.
