Tree trimming and shrub pruning does much more than just improve your curb appeal. When done correctly, trimming and pruning can strengthen your greenery and enhance plant function.
When trimming and pruning is done improperly, can harm the tree's health, stability, and appearance. Not pruning at all leads to more issues. These include development of low aggressive limbs, weak stems, bark inclusions, and accumulation of dead branches.
If you have a tree close to your home, failure to trim the tree can cause damage to your roof and siding during severe storms.
Minor trimming can be done on some trees anytime of year, but the best time for all trees is during dormancy - late fall to early spring. Flowering shrubs should be pruned after they have flowered, which helps pollinate and maintain the number of blooms. If the shrubs are pruned before flowering, there will be less flower growth.
Different reasons for trimming and pruning require different methods. Here are the most common:
Crown Cleaning - Removes dead, diseased, and broken tree & shrub parts. This method is mainly used to prevent structural damage to property.
Crown Thinning - Selective removal of live branches in the canopy to increase sunlight and air movement to the tree and the greenery below. This also helps reduce damage to trees during storms.
Crown Raising - Selective removal of live or dead branches from the lower part of the tree, which raises the crown of the tree. This method improves views and overhead clearance for power lines, pedestrians, and buildings.
Reduction Pruning - This method thins and shortens live branches to reduce the overall size of the tree or shrub, helping with sunlight penetration.
Structural Pruning - Pruning of young trees to improve spacing, growth rate, and branching orientation.
Restoration Pruning - Removal of live or dead branches to restore a tree or shrub after storm damage. This method helps growth habits of the greenery.
Root Pruning - Only used when roots are obstructing walkways, foundations, or other structures.
