Tree pruning is a professional maintenance and tree care service in which our arborist carefully assesses a tree and cuts and removes certain parts of the tree, like branches, buds, and parts of roots that are dead, diseased, or may affect the health, longevity, or growth of the tree. When performed by a certified arborist, tree pruning service offers a wide range of benefits to the tree, surrounding plants and wildlife, and people around the tree as well.
When a tree's branch dies, whether it's due to pests, fungus, other disease, storm damage, or a lack of water, it is susceptible to breaking off. In high winds, heavy rainfall, or other storm-like conditions, the fallen branch can cause significant damage to the surrounding property and animals and bystanders. Pruning is the primary method our arborists use to remove deadwood from our clients' trees safely.
A tree's structural integrity is what keeps it standing tall. When a tree's branches become weak, they can threaten the tree's structural integrity. Pruning removes these weak branches, bolstering the tree's strength and allowing the stronger branches to take over the load.
Earth's trees are among its oldest living organisms. Tree pruning helps our trees reach their full lifespan, preventing diseases and pests from harming, damaging, or killing them. Pruning eliminates branches affected by certain harmful growths like water sprouts and suckers.
Pruning services from a certified arborist offer the benefit of reduced maintenance required to keep trees healthy and beautiful over time. Moreover, pruning eliminates problem branches, making it easier for tree trimmers to complete their work with fewer branches to contend with.
Many of our trees here in North Central Florida are planted in suburban landscapes, meaning many of them can become entangled with human landscape features, like power lines, sidewalks, and windows. Pruning can safely shape a tree to best fit its surroundings.
Our temperate climate in Gainesville means that the best time to prune is all year round! Pruning and deadwood removal are easily accomplished at any time of the year and during any season. However, some trees may benefit from pruning during the colder months of the year. The best rule of thumb is to contact our certified arborists about the ideal strategy for pruning specific varieties of trees on your property! We can create a custom schedule for tree trimming that you can follow for beautiful, healthy trees that stand the test of time!
