Reasons for Choosing Tree Pruning Services

Appearance in the landscape is essential to a plant's usefulness. Still, there are a lot of reasons as to why one should prune their trees. Here are some of those:

·         Aesthetics. Tree pruning services effectively helps to maintain its shape and appearance. However, you shouldn’t try to impose an unnatural shape or size on a tree. For most landscapes, a plant's natural form is best. This is why one should avoid shearing shrubs into tight geometrical forms that can adversely affect flowering unless it needs to be confined or trained for a specific purpose. The amount of trimming and pruning that will be needed could seriously damage it.

·         Seasonal problems. Tree pruning services during dormancy is the most common practice. It results in a vigorous burst of new growth in the spring and should be used if that is the desired effect. It is usually best to wait until the coldest part of winter has passed. Some species, such as maple, walnuts and birches, may “bleed”—when the sap begins to flow. This is not harmful and will cease when the tree leafs out.

·         Health. It is sometimes possible to save an infected tree by strategically pruning away affected branches and limbs. Thinning the crown of a tree improves airflow can also be very beneficial. If branches are crossing or rubbing together, they should be trimmed so that they don’t fall unexpectedly.

Once you have decided to prune trees, there are things you have to consider according to professionals in tree pruning services:

  • Young trees pruned improperly or not pruned at all for several years may require heavy pruning to remove bigger branches to prevent trees from becoming deformed.

  • At planting, remove only diseased, dead, or broken branches.

  • Begin training a plant during the dormant season following planting.

·         Prune to shape young trees, but don't cut back the leader.

·         Remove crossing branches and branches that grow back towards the center of the tree.

·         As young trees grow, remove lower branches gradually to raise the crown, and remove branches that are too closely spaced on the trunk.

·         Remove multiple leaders on evergreens and other trees where a single leader is desirable.

Things You Should Know About Tree Pruning Services and the Arborist

However, not all homeowners will care for their trees. They see it as an added expense, but in truth, it’s not really the case.

Tree pruning services are very much needed to ensure that trees are healthy and growing properly. Neglecting care of trees can lead to accidents and injuries at home. For tree pruning, you will need an arborist. Talking to an arborist should be very helpful. However, arborists won’t tell you everything about trees, the service and other details.


This is the perfect chance to know some more details about tree pruning services and the arborist. Without further ado, here they are:

·         Arborists prefer to do tree pruning when the trees have dead wood, although you are advised to prune the trees every three years.

·         Arborists do not really like it when your trees have major problems. They’d prefer that you call them if you observe any signs of damage or health issues like mushroom or fungi growth. Breaking branches are also a sign of poor tree health.

·         Arborists don’t really make huge profits. You might think that way because of the high service fees. The truth is, when arborists go to your home for tree pruning services, it costs them a lot too. They have invested in very expensive equipment and also paid for worker compensation and insurance.

·         Arborists won’t tell you that they are likely to give discounts for tree pruning when it’s the holidays.

·         For tree pruning services, you’d want to have someone who is certified.

·       Certified arborists will advise you not to top your property. This is no longer good practice for your trees. If someone suggests that you do it, then that arborist clearly doesn’t know a thing about tree pruning.

·         Good arborists will not use climbing spikes. This can further damage the tree.

·         Avoid arborists who knock on your door and offer you their services. Good arborists do not need to do this to get some business.

·         Arborists aren’t cat catchers nor are they people you ask to hang a swing or put up a tree house. You know better than this.

If you expect good quality services from arborists, you should also do your part in informing yourself about the service and what they do. Have a good relationship with them so they’ll take proper care of your trees with an open heart.
