The Benefits of Tree Pruning

Our tree pruning service is among the most useful methods of maintaining trees in the best possible health. Branches, buds or even roots may be pruned back. But it should be undertaken at the correct time of year and in the proper way. It must be carried out by a professional arborist as pruning wounds the tree. If it’s not done appropriately those wounds can be an entry point for disease or pests.

4 Reasons Why Trees Have to Be Pruned

To greatly improve the overall health of the tree.

When branches die it’s often because of a shortage of sunshine, disease, pest damage or even root structure damage. If a tree is suffering from some sort of disease or lack of nutrition it’s best to prune the tree back to a healthful state and let it re-grow from there.

For safety and security reasons.

Improving the safety of trees includes taking out dead wood, structurally perilous branches and increasing the structural stability of the tree by weight reduction pruning. Weight Reduction Pruning: is a precautionary step that minimizes the risk of limb failures by way of end weight reduction, specifically on lateral limbs.

To thin out the tree’s canopy.

Thinning out the tree’s canopy lets in additional sunlight which in turn benefits the smaller trees and plants below. Thinning also raises air flow throughout the canopy and lessens wind resistance or ‘sail weight’ maximizing the trees ability to deal with strong winds. Thinning must be done precisely to preserve the trees structural integrity and should only be operated by a minimum AQF Level 3 Arborist.

To increase aesthetics

Sculpturing a tree through formative pruning trains the trees long term growth and betters the overall appearance.
