Man removing berries from palm tree

Tree trimming and hedge pruning can be a difficult task if you do not have the right equipment and experience. Trimming the upper branches of tall trees, and the tops of high hedges requires specific tools that allow you to extend to these heights. Not only is it difficult to do without this equipment, it can also be very dangerous. Choosing a tree pruning service from an industry professional such as Ecological Tree Services gives you the peace of mind that the job will be completed to the highest standards and in the safest way possible.

BENEFITS OF PROPER TREE PRUNING AND HEDGE TRIMMING

Although natural forest trees grow fine on their own, planted landscape trees require more maintenance and upkeep in order to keep their aesthetic. If you prune your trees or trim your hedges with the wrong technique, you may create lasting damage to the tree, or even shorten the tree’s life. Small trees, plants and bushes can be managed yourself, however, when it comes to tall trees and hedges, it may be in your best interest to call a professional tree pruning service.

WHEN TO PRUNE

For the vast majority of trees and hedge varieties, trimming and pruning can be done any time of the year. However, re-growth can be maximised by trimming just before the Springtime.

TREE TRIMMING TECHNIQUES

There are several techniques related to tree trimming. Cleaning involves the removal of dead, dying, or diseased branches. Thinning is cutting selected branches of the tree in order to improve the structural integrity of the tree, or to increase the amount of light that the tree lets in. Raising is concerned with the removal of branches in the lower part of the tree, generally in order to make room for vehicles, buildings, and pedestrians or to increase the line of sight. Finally, reduction refers to trimming a tree in order to reduce its overall size.
