Tree maintenance is more than just trimming!
Tree maintenance is more than just trimming!
Here are some routine tree maintenance tasks:
Thinning: Selective removal of limbs to improve the structure of the tree with the goal to increase light penetration, airflow through the crown, and reduce weight on heavy limbs.
Cleaning: The removal of limbs that are no longer providing for the tree, including dead, dying, crossed, diseased, or weakly attached limbs.
Raising: Removal of lower limbs from the tree to provide clearance for things like walk ways, driveways, buildings or vehicles.
Crown Reduction: Reducing the height and spread of the canopy. This is done by strategically cutting taking off limbs so that growth is directed back to a secondary location.
Proper tree maintenance is more than just cutting.
Proper tree maintenance is more than just cutting.
Performing the proper pruning cuts is important to allow woulds to seal back properly. Knowing when, where, and how to cut a limb, as well as how much to take off a tree as a whole is important to ensure the health, appearance and longevity of your trees. Topping is never advised in tree care and often leads to more problems and higher costs in the future.
