Pruning

What is pruning?

Pruning is all about trimming the tree to help it grow better and look nicer. The arborist will look for branches that are either dead, diseased, or growing in the wrong direction. They’ll remove those branches to improve the tree’s overall shape, air circulation, and sunlight exposure. Pruning can also help prevent branches from rubbing together, which could cause damage down the road.

What is deadwooding?

Deadwooding s specifically about removing any dead or dying wood from the tree. You know, the branches that are no longer living. They might still be hanging on but aren’t really doing anything for the tree. The arborist will trim those off because, if left there, they can pose a risk—especially in storms when they might fall off unexpectedly and cause damage. It also helps the tree by reducing the chances of pests or diseases taking hold in those dead areas.
