Why is tree trimming important? Trees add beauty and shade to our yards and land - tree trimming is important to keep your trees healthy and happy.
Types of Tree Trimming
There are four main types of tree trimming:
Crown Reduction Trimming - removal of major branches - this should only be done when there is significant storm damage or when branches interfere with power lines. No more than a third of the tree’s total crown should be removed
Fine Pruning – this is removing small limbs to improve the tree’s overall appearance
Hazard Trimming – this trimming is done for tree safety
Standard Pruning – this is done to enhance the tree’s branch structure
