Benefits of Tree Trimming



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

Some benefits of tree trimming and pruning:
