Lightning Protection

A beautifully maintained landscape gives each of us a sense of pride and belonging. When our property is aesthetically pleasing, it increases our property value, sense of community, and pride. Research has shown that a well maintained community usually offers lower crime rates, thus also instilling a sense of safety in a beautiful environment.

One way to maintain your trees is by the art of pruning. It is a horticultural practice that transforms the shape and growth of trees. Tree pruning can be an art form. Our Certified Arborists have state of the art equipment available and have been trained in the “art” of keeping the environment natural.

Just as important as the cosmetics of pruning; we also understand that each tree, plant or shrub, may have a different pruning requirement cycle. Our arborists adhere to industry endorsed standards and methodologies for tree care and pruning to ensure your trees are not pruned in a cycle that would damage flower, fruit production, or even growth.

Reasons for Pruning

Prune to promote plant health

  • Remove dead or dying branches injured by disease, severe insect infestation, animals, storms or other adverse mechanical damage
Prune to maintain plants; intended purposes in a landscape, such as:
  • Encouraging flower and fruit development
  • Maintaining a dense hedge
  • Maintaining a desire tree form
Prune to improve plant appearance.  Appearance in the landscape is essential to a plant's usefulness. For most landscapes, a plant's natural form is best. When plants are pruned well, it is difficult to see that they have been pruned! Prune to:
  • Control plant size
  • Keep well-proportioned
  • Remove unwanted branches, waterspouts or suckers that detract from plant appearance
Prune to protect people and property
  • Remove dead branches
  • Have dead trees taken down
  • Prune out weak tree branches that overhang homes, parking areas and sidewalks
  • Prune shrubs or tree branches that obscure the entry to your home
