Pruning & Removal

Pruning
When pruning trees, these are the only cuts that should be make:
1. Eliminating branches that rub against each other
2. Removing limbs that interfere with wires
3. Removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to decay
4. Removing diseased or insect infested limbs
5. Creating better structure to lessen wind resistance and reduce the potential for storm damage
6. Training young trees
7. Removing limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions
8.Thinning or removal of unnecessary branches
9. Improving the shape or silhouette of the three
No branch should be removed without a reason

Tree & Stump Removal
Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is necessary. An arborist can help you decide whether or not a tree should be removed. Arborists have the skills and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees.
Removal is recommended when:
1. The tree is dead or dying
2. The tree is considered irreparably hazardous
3. The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning
4. The tree is crowding or causing harm to other trees
5. The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen
6. The tree should be removed to allow for new construction
