When it comes to tree trimming, it's essential to follow proper techniques to ensure the health of the tree. Here are some of our general recommendations:
• Trim trees during their dormant season, typically in late fall or winter. Avoid trimming during the spring growth period.
• Remove any dead or diseased branches to promote overall tree health.
• Use sharp and clean pruning tools. This helps make precise cuts and prevents the spread of diseases.
• Crown Cleaning: Remove dead, dying, or weak branches. • Crown Thinning: Remove some inner branches to allow better air circulation and light penetration. • Crown Raising: Trim lower branches to provide clearance for structures or pedestrians.
• Never remove more than 25% of a tree's foliage in a single season. Over-pruning can stress the tree and lead to health issues.
• Different trees have different trimming needs. Research the specific requirements for the type of tree you have.
• If the tree is large or near power lines, always hire a professional such as Lawn Rescue for safety reasons.
• If you're unsure about the best approach or if the tree requires significant pruning, consulting with a certified arborist such as Lawn Rescue.
Finally, always check local regulations, as some areas have specific rules regarding tree trimming.
