Structural Pruning
Pruning large shade trees requires the arborist to account for the tree species habit of growth and strength of wood, and the tree's exposure, condition, and leader and branch attachments. By removal of dead, diseased or weak limbs, weight reduction or thinning (when necessary), and considering the shape of the tree in its permanent location, our arborists can extend the life of your trees, making them safer and more beautiful.
We recommend hiring an ISA Certified Arborist for all pruning on your property that requires climbing, ladders or lifts, but click here to learn about basic proper pruning techniques for small, ‘standing-on-the-ground’ jobs you can do yourself:
Cabling & Bracing
Many trees, large and small, have poor branch attachments and may need additional support. Proper installation of cables are hidden high in the crown of the tree for maximum leverage. Bracing with threaded rod is required with less frequency but can add permanent strength to an ineffective branch union.
Aesthetic Ornamental Pruning
Our ISA Certified Arborists prune to improve the health, safety and beauty of your trees or shrubs. Working with the ornamental's habit of growth, timing of bloom and overall condition, the trained arborist will prune to restore the plant's intended aesthetic.
Orchard Pruning
Generally speaking, fruit trees need to be pruned for air circulation and light, height to maintain fruit access, and health, by removing dead and diseased limbs. Understanding the fruit species or cultivar helps the arborist work within realistic expectations.
General Tree Removal
Professionally trained crews and specialized equipment (crane, hand climbing, or bucket truck) safely remove very large trees in any location to minimize the risks to your property.
