Skip to content Whether it’s a small cherry tree or a tall oak, regular pruning is crucial for keeping trees healthy, safe, and looking their best. The problem is, most homeowners and property managers don’t have the right tools or training. High branches call for specialized gear and safety equipment, while even the lower ones need precise cutting techniques. That’s why it’s best to leave tree pruning in the hands of professionals.

Tree trimming is an important aspect of tree maintenance that provides a wealth of benefits. A few of the most noteworthy advantages pruning provides include:
Trimming or removing branches that are dead, dying, diseased, or unstable lowers the risk of property damage and helps protect anyone passing under the tree—whether it’s people or pets.
Proper pruning helps trees stay healthier by letting them use their energy and resources more efficiently. It also lowers the risk of pests, disease, or decay spreading through the tree.
Pruning can help a tree grow more foliage by improving its overall health. Cutting a branch can also trigger nearby branches to produce new leaves.
Pruning opens up the canopy to let in more sunlight and improve airflow, making it harder for fungal and bacterial issues to develop.
Trees can sometimes block driveways, sidewalks, sightlines, or even power lines. Professional pruning clears those problem branches and restores safe, easy access.
While each tree has its own charm, most look their best with regular pruning. It keeps the canopy healthy with strong, live branches and helps the tree maintain an attractive shape.
Pruning trees correctly and at the right time of year can increase both flower and fruit production. That’s why orchards stick to careful pruning schedules to maximize their yields.
Skilled arborists can manage a tree’s size by selectively pruning key branches. For the best outcome, it’s important to begin this routine early in the tree’s life.
Pruning promotes overall tree health and reduces the chance of big branches breaking, which can leave trees vulnerable to pests and disease. It’s a simple, effective way to help your trees live longer.
Because you can have your trees pruned to accomplish a number of different goals, arborists have developed a number of different tree pruning methods and strategies to achieve the desired results. A few of the most common tree pruning services Treemendous Tree Care clients require include:
Crown thinning is the process of selectively removing branches from within a tree’s canopy to increase sunlight and improve airflow. It’s most often done on mature trees, with care taken to maintain the canopy’s natural shape.
Crown raising, or crown lifting, involves removing the lower branches of a tree to create more clearance for people, vehicles, or structures underneath. This type of pruning is often used on mature trees in urban or suburban settings.
Crown reduction trims back a tree’s overall height or size while avoiding the decay problems caused by "topping." It also keeps the canopy balanced, healthy, and suited to the tree’s natural form.
Crown cleaning focuses on removing dead, dying, or damaged branches from within the canopy. This type of pruning doesn’t usually shrink the canopy or improve airflow, but it does support the tree’s health and makes it safer overall.
Pollarding is a pruning technique used to keep a tree small through annual trimming. It’s not suitable for every species and must be done correctly to avoid damage, but it can be an excellent option for limited spaces.
Both of these techniques are used to create specific, often decorative, results. For example, a tree can be pruned to grow flat along a wall or shaped into unique forms such as spheres.
Structural pruning is usually performed when trees are young. It guides proper form and strong growth, helping prevent future problems and promoting long-term health.
Homeowners and property managers should always keep an eye out for a few signs and symptoms that indicate their trees may require pruning. Always contact a professional arborist if you see any of the following signs:
Dead or dying branches are nearly always dangerous, particularly when they’re near people or property. They can also signal underlying pest or disease issues.
Diseased branches or those showing signs of decay should be removed promptly to stop the problem from spreading and to give your trees the best chance at a full recovery.
Branches that have suffered damage from severe weather or some other cause should be evaluated and potentially removed. This can help keep your trees safe and prevent injuries or property damage.
Branches that cross or rub against each other should usually be removed, since they can cause damage over time and may lead to bark inclusions.
Trees with too many internal branches can block sunlight and restrict airflow through the canopy, creating conditions where fungal and bacterial diseases are more likely to develop.
Some trees develop unevenly, which can shift their center of gravity and increase the risk of windthrow. Pruning is often the best way to restore balance and stability.
Tree branches that grow into power lines, rub against buildings, or block access paths should be removed to keep these areas clear and avoid future problems.
Some trees are intentionally planted to block views, but that’s not always the case. If a tree grows in a way that obstructs sightlines, pruning can often resolve the issue.
If trees aren’t producing enough fruit or flowers, pruning can make a difference. But to get the best results, it’s important to make the right cuts and time the pruning properly.
Another sign you may need professional tree pruning is if it’s been more than 3 to 5 years since the last pruning. Even trees that don’t exhibit any of the signs discussed above will generally benefit from regular trims, so contact Treemendous Tree Care and let us schedule a pruning visit today!
