What is tree pruning?
Tree pruning is done to make the tree more desirable to look at, and can be used as a landscaping technique to help the tree grow in a more visually pleasing way. Some trees are trained to grow into a specific shape by their gardener. A tree pruner does not have to limit himself to the visual appeal of a tree. He could also be concerned about the health and safety of the tree and its inhabitants.
Who should I hire for tree pruning?
Not all arborists or landscapers have the correct knowledge, training or experience for pruning work, which is why choosing the right company is important. If the pruning is not done properly, the tree could die, or even become seriously ill. In addition, many homeowners do not realize that pruning their trees too soon can actually cause them to grow thicker and stronger. This is true with almost any kind of pruning, not just tree pruning. Pruning should only be done by an experienced pruner, who has the necessary equipment to do a good job. He will use a range of sharp tools, such as loppers, hatchets, saws and machetes.

When is the best time to perform tree pruning?
There is never a bad time of year to perform tree pruning, every garden is different so there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to this work. But, generally speaking, it is best to wait until after the new growth has developed before undertaking any major pruning work. This way, you'll be certain to get the very best results from your efforts.
Spring is always a great time to perform tree pruning because the trees will have just started to put on their summer foliage and, as a result, there is less chance of them being affected by the dormant winter months. However, if you do need to undertake pruning work during this period, it is important that you do it in a very methodical manner, so as not to cause any unnecessary stress to the tree. As with all aspects of gardening, it's important to keep things in balance. Too much or too little of anything can have a detrimental effect on the plants and trees in your garden or yard. You should also try to avoid pruning during the wetter months of the year, as this will make the branches more vulnerable to disease and decay.
Whats the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?
What is the difference between tree trimming
and tree pruning? Trimming is often done as a part of an ongoing maintenance program, where a qualified arborist makes sure the tree receives the best possible care by removing damaged or dead branches as and when they appear. Pruning, on the other hand, is a much more detailed process that involves the careful removal of parts of the tree.
