Pruning

Trimming & Pruning
Proper pruning on a well timed schedule is one of the wisest investments you can make in your property. All pruning cuts must be made with an educated understanding of how the tree will respond to the cut. Improper pruning can cause damage, ruining the health and value of a tree forever. That's where Urban Tree Care, Inc. comes in. Our trained professionals prune all trees in accordance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 Standards. This ensures that you get the finest quality tree care available.

Our pruning services include:

Crown Cleaning: Includes removing dead, damaged, weakly attached, or diseased branches. This reduces hazards, decreases property damage and helps to promote healthy tissue. Regular pruning can eliminate these small problems before they become big ones.

Crown Thinning: Includes crown cleaning and removing unnecessary crossing or competing branches. This allows for more air and light to pass through the tree and reduces pressure on the plant.

Crown Raising: Removes the lower branches of the tree to increase visibility, reduce hazards near walkways and provide clearance to facilitate lawn-mowing.

Crown Restoration: A process by which a damaged tree is trained to resume its natural growth habit. Restoration works to improve the tree's appearance and structure.

Crown Clearing: Involves the pruning of branches away from a home, structure or street - to eliminate damage by the tree to a structure or vehicle.

Crown Reduction: Reduces the height of a tree by 10 to 20 percent to acceptable levels. This type of pruning is only performed on ornamentals to achieve a certain desired aesthetic effect.
