Pruning & Thinning
Correct pruning and thinning are the most essential elements when it comes to tree health. Improperly placed or angled cuts can have dramatic outcomes to a tree, especially in the early years of its life. Structural or corrective pruning can help determine if a tree will grow symmetrical and even. It also prevents the tree from forming two dominant leaders that over time can become structurally unstable and hazardous.
Thinning can reduce the number of branches and foliage to benefit tree health by allowing more sun and oxygen to be absorbed. Thinning heavy limbs can reduce the chance of them breaking off and causing detrimental wounds to the tree. It can also improve visual sight for customers and onlookers.
