Tree Pruning
Why Do Trees Need Pruning?
learance from buildings or structures, for more light to your property, for visibility or for aesthetics. If you want to take the best possible care of your property, and want the work done safely and efficiently, it is important that you hire trained, educated, qualified arborists to prescribe and carry out this work.
Sometimes pruning should be avoided for certain species at certain times of the year. Knowing when, what and how much to prune can make the difference between a healthy, vigorous tree and a diseased and declining one.

Proper pruning can have many benefits, such as improving tree structure, maintaining tree health, reducing the likelihood of disease spread or infection, mitigating the risk of part or whole tree failure, providing clearance from adjacent infrastructure to avoid damage, contributing to rejuvenation, increasing flower or fruit production, improving wildlife habitat and leading to better aesthetics in the landscape of your property.

Industry Standard Certified Pruning Practices
All of our work is conducted in accordance with Industry Standard Best Practices and is carried out by or under the direct supervision of a qualified arborist (ISA Certified Arborist, Ontario Qualified Arborist 444-A). We follow the ANSI (American National Standard Institute) A300 Best Management Practices for all pruning operations. This means we make proper pruning cuts and stay within the threshold for removal of live growth. We only use non-invasive climbing techniques to preserve the health of your trees – WE NEVER SPUR YOUR TREES WHEN PRUNING. Spurs are harmful to tree health and should only be used for removals.
The Process Of Tree Pruning
Tree pruning (also called tree trimming) involves the selective removal of plant parts to achieve a defined objective. Trees are a valuable asset to the urban landscape and require regular maintenance to improve their health and remain compatible with their location.
The first thing we do when assessing pruning requirements is to listen to our clients and determine the pruning objective. When determining this objective, we consider client needs and expectations and balance that with species and specimen characteristics, tree condition, growth habit, location, adjacent infrastructure and site usage. Once the objective has been determined, we can prescribe the appropriate pruning for your trees and shrubs.
