Pruning
Our urban and suburban areas most common service need is
pruning maintenance. There are various reasons why proper
pruning techniques are used, such as for maintaining safety,
good tree health, structural attraction, and improving
aesthetics. Living Trees and Shrubs practices only techniques as
described by ISA standards.
Reasons for pruning:
 Crown
cleaning: Removal of dead, dying, diseased, crowded,
and weakly attached branches. Removal of watersprouts, which are
sometimes referred to as sucker growth.
Crown thinning: Selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. This technique also reduces weight off the larger limbs and helps retain the tree's natural shape. Crown raising: Removes the lower branches from a tree in order to provide clearance for buildings, vistas, vehicles, and pedestrians.  Crown reduction: Reduces the height or spread of a tree for
clearance for utility lines, fence lines, and any residential or
commercial building structures.
Crown restoration: Restoration pruning improves the structure or form of a tree that may have been severely damaged from a natural or accidental cause. |
