Tree & Shrub Care & Pruning

Pruning is necessary in tree and shrub maintenance for several reasons. One is selective pruning helps top open up the interior of the plant to allow air to circulate, effective drying light penetration. Two, dead limbs are removed and the tree or shrub has a neat, healthy appearance. Pruning also reduces the likelihood of pest and disease infestation. A healthy plant is less susceptible to these kinds of outbreaks. Proper pruning will improve the overall appearance of your trees and shrubs. Quite often the form of the tree is improved by the removal of weak or top heavy limbs. This of course, makes the tree safer as well. The safety of a tree is an important consideration when they are large and mature. This is a fundamental facet of your tree and shrub maintenance. Proper pruning techniques are important since an improperly pruned tree or shrub does nothing to improve health, form and safety. In most cases it does more harm then good. With larger trees, pruning is a very dangerous task as it entails working at heights and often removing limbs in tight situations. This work should be left to a trained professional Arborist. Most properties today have a wide variety and large number of trees and shrubs that require continued care. Most often the trees and shrubs on your property are necessary for aesthetics and increased property value. They even reduce road noise in some cases. Proper and regular maintenance of these landscape plants will ensure their continued good health, pleasing appearance and enhance property value.
