TREE TRIMMING AND PRUNING

HOW WE CAN HELP

Trimming and pruning are the most common tree upkeep practices. Although woodland trees grow quite well with only nature's trimming, landscape trees call for a higher degree of care to keep their structural stability and aesthetic appeal. Trimming has to be performed with an understanding of tree biology. Incorrect pruning can produce lasting damage or even reduce the tree's life.

There are multiple pruning techniques where Bailey Tree Care has extensive experience:

• Cleaning is the elimination of dead, decaying, diseased and insufficiently attached branches  from the crown of a tree.

• Thinning is selective branch elimination to enhance its framework and also to increase light penetration and air flow within the crown. Proper thinning opens the vegetation of a tree, decreases weight on heavy limbs, as well as helps maintain the tree's all-natural shape.

• Raising removes the branches of a tree that are closer to the ground to supply clearance for buildings, cars, pedestrians, and also vistas.

• Reduction decreases the size of a tree, frequently for power line clearance. Decreasing a tree's elevation or spread is best achieved by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to secondary branches that are big enough to handle the weight of attached smaller branches. In contrast to topping, reduction aids in maintaining the form and structural integrity of the tree.

• Pruning big trees can also be unsafe. If pruning includes working at above-ground elevations or utilizing power tools, it is best to employ an expert arborist. An arborist can identify the sort of pruning essential to enhance the wellness, appearance, and security of your trees. An expert arborist can likewise supply the solutions of a skilled staff with the required safety equipment and liability insurance.
