Pruning:
The arborist can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain
or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees. |
|
Pruning techniques include:
Eliminating branches that run each other
* Removing limbs that interfere with wires, building facades, gutters,
roofs, chimneys, or windows, or that obstruct streets or sidewalks.
* Removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to
decay
* Removing diseased or insect-infected limbs
* Creating better structure to lesson wind resistance and reduce
the potential for storm damage
* Training young trees
* Removing limbs damaged by adverse weather conditions
* Thinning or removal of unnecessary branches
* Improve the shape or silhouette of the tree

Removal:
Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when
it is necessary. An arborist can help 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:
* The tree is dead or dying
* The tree is considered irreparably hazardous
* The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct
through pruning
* The tree is crowding and causing harm to other trees
* The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen
* The tree should be removed to allow new construction
* The tree is causing structural damage
* The tree has a root disorder
