Professional pruning and maintenance services
Pure Tree Care provides expert tree pruning as prescribed by ISA standards. We understand that your trees are an investment, and that’s why our certified arborists specialize in every aspect of a tree’s health, targeting specific branches and limbs to increase the long-term and overall health of the tree. Proper pruning techniques can result in a tree’s health dramatically improving.
Other reasons for tree pruning include:
- remove deadwood; damaged, or diseased sections,
- increase the safety of property and surrounding homes,
- clear utility lines and meet requirements of city codes,
- remove obstructive limbs,
- comply with common insurance requirements
- increase sunlight for turf and improve overall aesthetics of your yard.
Every cut made during tree pruning can change the look and growth patterns of a tree. That’s why it’s important to let a certified arborist survey the tree and select each branch for removal so that the process is deliberate and made in consideration of the entire structure. When pruning young trees, it is particularly important to create structurally-sound scaffolding that will define the long-term health, visual appeal, and shape of the tree.
Pure Tree Care – Three Stages of Proper Pruning
Stage One:
Crown Cleaning-includes the removal of dead and damaged branches, hazardous branches that rub or are weakly connected, or diseased branches.
Stage Two:
Crown Thinning-removes selected suckers and branches through the interior of the tree. We also remove selected branches in crowded parts of the canopy, creating a lacier effect. This allows for increased air flow and light penetration that benefits the tree by reducing diseases, molds and fungi.
Stage Three:
Crown Raising--This final step removes downward-growing limbs and reduces overall weight on limbs. We never remove major limbs unless previously discussed with the client, allowing us to preserve the overall characteristics of each tree. If we see limbs that are growing into structures or need to be removed for other reasons, we discuss this with the client before removal begins.
