Nurturing your trees for healthier growth and longevity with expert pruning techniques and personalized tree care strategies
Pruning is an essential practice to maintain the health, safety, and aesthetic value of trees in urban environments. Although trees can naturally shed unwanted branches, defend themselves against infection, and heal their wounds, human intervention can enhance these natural processes and promote the well-being of the tree.
Regular pruning has several benefits for trees, such as removing diseased, dying, or dead branches, improving air circulation and sunlight penetration, and promoting the tree’s natural shape and structure. Pruning also enhances the safety of the tree by reducing the risk of falling branches, which can cause property damage or injury to people.
“A wonderful locally run company doing a great job. We had tree work done on a huge white pine and it looks so great. We were worried we might lose 8t but now it looks like a young tree again. Healthy and strong. Ben did an amazing job along with Mike and Josh.”

The best time to prune trees generally depends on the type of tree and the desired outcome. However, here are some general guidelines:
Dormant Season (Late Winter to Early Spring)
Most trees benefit from being pruned during their dormant season, which typically occurs in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. This timing minimizes stress on the tree and reduces the risk of disease.
Summer Pruning:
Pruning in summer can help control or direct growth, especially if you want to correct structural problems. It’s also a good time to remove dead or damaged limbs and to thin out the canopy for better air circulation.
Avoid Late Spring:
It’s generally advisable to avoid pruning in late spring when trees are actively growing new leaves and shoots, as this can stress the tree.
Specific Trees:
Some flowering trees may be pruned right after they bloom to ensure you don’t cut off next year’s flower buds.
Fruit trees often require specific timing based on their type to maximise fruit production.
