Tree Maintenance

Tree maintenance is a wide-ranging practice that involves caring for and managing trees to ensure their health, safety, and aesthetic appeal. Maintenance activities vary by season and depend on the tree’s age, species, and location. Regular professional tree care can prevent costly damage, prolong a tree’s life, and enhance property value.

Core tree maintenance practices:

Pruning and trimming: Pruning involves the strategic removal of branches to enhance a tree’s health and structural integrity. Trimming, on the other hand, is primarily for cosmetic purposes to control the shape and size of a tree.
- Crown thinning: Selectively removing interior branches to increase air and light circulation within the canopy.
- Crown lifting: Removing lower branches to provide clearance for buildings, walkways, or vehicles.
- Crown cleaning: Eliminating dead, diseased, or damaged branches.
- Crown reduction: Reducing a tree’s height or spread by cutting back branches to lateral limbs.
