The Benefits of Pruning
Pruning trees is not just for looks! It also helps to maintain the health of the trees, prevent future damage to neighbouring buildings as a result of branch or trunk failure, increase air flow through the canopy for disease prevention, and so much more.

Our Expert Advice – Pruning
Young trees normally require some structural pruning to establish a strong arrangement or system of permanent branches that form the crown of the tree. When the trees are young and vigorous, the pruning cuts made are small and the tree has the capacity to heal quickly. The wound soon disappears and the tree is given the best chance to avoid future structural failures.
