Tree Pruning Services of Worcester County

There are a variety of reasons why a tree needs to be pruned. Perhaps you have some branches that are leaning over your home that need be removed. Removing deadwood from a tree is very important since these dead limbs can come crashing down at any moment posing a risk to people and property. Maybe you have a tree that has become a host for a pesky pest that has been feasting on your particular tree. Termites, carpenter ants and carpenter bees to name a few are just some of the pests that can take up residence in a tree ultimately destroying the tree all together if not properly maintained.

Our trained staff can properly assess a tree’s health and point out which limbs are necessary to be removed. Hiring a professional ensures your tree’s health is maintained not only throughout the process but when properly pruned will have increased health and a better life expectancy. 

Tree Pruning Tips and Advice

We are frequently asked what is the best way to go about pruning a tree. How do we assess the tree's overall usefulness and health? The first thing we consider is whether the tree poses any potential hazards to your property. For example, could it potentially fall onto your home or any other structure? Does it have any dead overhanging branches that need to be removed before they potentially fall and harm someone or something? These hazards must be addressed first. 

Secondly, we consider the overall health of the tree. The idea behind pruning a tree is to encourage the tree's growth and improve its health and longevity. It's important to note, that as a general rule of thumb, you do not want to remove any more than a 1/3 of the tree otherwise too aggressive pruning can be fatal and leave the tree susceptible to disease. 

Ornamental Tree Pruning

Pruning ornamental or fruit trees can be rather specific. Ultimately what kind are pruning are you looking for? Are you looking to increase your blooms or fruit production? Typically you want to reserve pruning for these types of trees for spring or fall. These are the best times to conduct any kind of pruning otherwise you will affect how the tree produces its harvest and the amount of blooms.
