Tree pruning and trimming prolong the life of your tree by fighting off drought conditions and insect and disease issues. It improves air circulation, reduces disease incidence, and reduces the possibility of damage from storms and high winds.
The Jackson family offers services that prioritize your family’s safety. Removing dead or overextended limbs decreases the likelihood of breakage and keeps branches from interfering with wires, buildings, sightlines, or yard activity.
Our Tree Pruning & Trimming Services
- Crown Cleaning: This is the removal of dead, broken, and crossing limbs, sucker sprouts on trunks, and weak or diseased limbs. A crown cleaning improves the tree’s structure, appearance, and health.
- Crown Thinning: Crown thinning is the careful selection of branches to be removed to increase sunlight penetration and airflow and significantly reduce weight in the crown of a tree. Pruning by crown thinning helps stimulate and maintain interior foliage.
- Crown Reduction: This procedure reduces a tree’s height and/or spread by pruning back the tips of its limbs. Crown reduction is only for soft-wooded trees, such as a Bradford pear, since they are the most prone to break in a storm.
- Crown Raising: This practice removes lower branches to provide clearance for homes, parking, etc.
How Do You Know If Your Tree Should Be Trimmed?
- Broken branches: It’s essential to try and get any broken, split, or hanging limbs out of your tree as soon as possible so no further damage will occur.
- Branches over power lines: It’s necessary to trim back branches that could be close to power to avoid fires and other electrical issues.
- Dead or diseased branches: Removing dead limbs helps avoid safety hazards such as the limb falling on your house, child, dog, you, etc. Diseased limbs are just as important to remove to stop the spread of conditions throughout the tree.
- Misshapen tree: This one isn’t as important to the tree’s health, but still essential to maintaining your property.
- Trees damaged by a storm: Trees damaged by storm damage often cause a lot of damage to trees surrounding it as well; it’s critical to get some clean-up trimming on the tree done so they can go up and flush the limb or remove any hanging limbs that may be in the tree.
How Do You Know If Your Tree Should Be Deadwood?
Deadwooding is the process of removing dead or dying branches from trees, and it provides a range of benefits that help keep your trees healthy, safe, and attractive. First and foremost, deadwooding is essential for maintaining the safety of your trees and the surrounding area. Dead or dying branches become unstable and pose a significant hazard to people and property. Additionally, deadwooding helps improve your trees’ overall health and appearance. Dead branches look unsightly and attract pests and diseases that spread to healthy parts of the tree. Removing these branches reduces the risk of these problems and promotes healthy growth. If you are not experienced in deadwooding, hiring a professional arborist who can safely and effectively perform this task is essential.
How Do You Know If Your Tree Needs A Crown Reduction?
You know your tree could use a crown reduction when it outgrows its space or is not growing proportionately. Crown reduction is a pruning technique that selectively reduces the height and/or spread of a tree’s crown, which is the uppermost part that consists of branches, leaves, and other foliage. This pruning technique is often used to manage the size and shape of a tree, as well as to improve its structural integrity, health, and overall appearance. Crown reduction effectively manages trees that have outgrown their space, especially in urban areas with limited space. Reducing the size of the tree’s crown allows more light to filter through to the ground and create a more open and inviting space. Additionally, crown reduction helps prevent damage to nearby structures, such as homes and power lines, by reducing the risk of falling branches.
