The Perks of Tree Pruning Services

Unlike the tree trimming services offered by other companies that are intended to shape the tree without much thought to how their cuts affect the tree’s overall health, our pruning process is more delicate and intricate. Our arborists strategically remove dead branches in an effort to prevent the spread of disease, improve structural integrity, enhance airflow and light penetration, boost flower and fruit production, and direct the growth of the tree.

Our professional tree pruning services in Charlotte, Lake Norman, and Asheville, NC, also help reduce the chances of overgrown or weakened limbs breaking and becoming liabilities. Addressing structural weaknesses early can help protect the people who live or work on your property, as well as prevent damage to structures, vehicles, driveways, and sidewalks.

When Is Tree Pruning Necessary?

How do you know when it’s time to prune the trees on your property? Watch for these tell-tale signs:

Dead or Diseased Branches

Dead branches are a serious safety hazard. If they break off and fall, they can injure anyone standing in the way. Scheduling routine inspections for your trees to identify dead or diseased branches is essential for determining which ones should be pruned.

Overcrowding

If trees grow too close together, they can compete for resources like sunlight and water. This competition can cause them to become weak and more vulnerable to disease and pests. Our Asheville and Charlotte tree pruning services can help thin out the canopy and create more space for healthy growth.

Crossing or Rubbing Branches

When two branches rub against each other, it creates friction that can damage the bark and make the tree more susceptible to infection. As a result, having these branches pruned can prevent further damage and allow for better air circulation within the tree.

Misshapen Growth

Trees that are left unpruned for too long can develop misshapen growth patterns, including multiple leaders, limbs that grow in odd directions, and other irregularities. These defects can weaken the stability of the tree and raise the chances a problem might occur. To prevent these issues from happening, it's important to have trees pruned at an early age.
