Trimming and Pruning
Pruning is extremely important for maintaining the overall health and safety of trees.
Pruning is typically used to:
- Improve a tree’s structure
- Increase safety by reducing branch failure potential
- Clearance from roadways, buildings, driveways, etc.
- Reduce shade and wind resistance.
- Improve a view
- Increase flower or fruit production
How is this achieved?
- Removal of dead, damaged, and diseased branches
- Thinning and reduction cuts
- Raising for proper clearance
The site, time of year, species, size, vitality and maturity, are all factors that need to be considered by an arborist that can affect pruning objectives. Improper cuts lead to decay and affect a tree’s ability to heal the wound properly. In turn, it affects the health and vigour of a tree.
Tree Removal
Removing trees is often a very dangerous task. Our experienced arborists have been trained in order to remove all trees in a safe and effective manner. Whether it’s a tree in a wide open space, or a large tree in a tight space, we are able to remove them safely and efficiently.
Although we don’t encourage the removal of healthy trees, sometimes it is necessary. There’s several reasons for why a tree may need to be removed:
- They’re damaged or decayed unhealthy trees
- Poor structural integrity that could cause them to become a safety hazard
- Or aesthetics, perhaps a tree is becoming overgrown and taking over your yard
We specialize in large, hazardous removals. Trusty Tree Services has the equipment and technical rigging to accomplish the most difficult and high location projects. Our equipment and certifications allow us to work around power lines, buildings and hard to reach areas. Contact us to meet with an experienced arborist on site.
