Tree Pruning Services
Pruning needs vary by tree and condition. Each tree is evaluated before work begins to avoid unnecessary cuts.
Deadwood Removal
Remove dead, broken, or hanging branches that can fall or cause problems.
Structural Pruning
Improve branch structure and reduce defects that can become larger problems as the tree grows.
Clearance Pruning
Provide clearance from roofs, structures, driveways, walkways, and other areas where branches interfere.
Young Tree Pruning
Establish better structure while the tree is young and problems are easier to correct.
Mature Tree Pruning
Remove selected branches while maintaining the tree’s structure and living canopy.
Fruit Tree Pruning
Fruit tree pruning helps maintain structure, manage size, and support fruit production. Most fruit tree pruning is performed during the dormant season.
Why Proper Pruning Matters
Poor pruning can create weak growth, large wounds, and structural problems. Removing too much at once can also stress a tree. Proper pruning means removing the right branches while keeping the tree’s health and structure intact.
Tree Topping
The Arbor Surgeon does not recommend topping healthy trees as a routine pruning practice. Topping removes large portions of the canopy and can lead to decay, weak new growth, and long-term structural problems. If a tree has outgrown its location, we’ll discuss the practical options before work begins.
