What is tree & shrub pruning?

Tree & shrub pruning is the process of trimming and shaping plants for aesthetic or health reasons. Proper tree pruning has many benefits for tree and shrub health. Pruning helps to remove dead or diseased branches, stimulates healthy growth, and improves the appearance and safety of your trees. Sometimes, it may also be required to cut branches and trim trees because they're getting too close to power lines or other structures such as a yard shed, garage, or your house. It is important to only have properly trained arborists prune your trees as improper pruning can ruin a tree for life. Our ISA Certified Arborists prescribe and provide treatments that meet Ansi A300 standards which are recognized internationally by professional Arborists.  

How can you tell if your trees or shrubs need to be pruned?

Trees and shrubs in your landscape take seasonal maintenance just like any other plants do. There are a few telltale signs that your plants need to be pruned, including:

• Damaged or dead branches

• Diseased branches

• Broken branches

• Twisted or crowded branches

• Overgrown or over-extended limbs

• Excessive growth in certain areas

• Storm damage

If you notice any of these signs, it's time to call in the professionals! If you're not sure whether your trees or shrubs need to be pruned, our team of Certified Arborists will assess the health and structure of your trees and will provide you with the proper recommendations and objectives for pruning.

Fruit tree pruning

Fruit trees are a popular addition to many homes in the Columbia Valley.  Properly pruned, they can be a productive part of your garden for many years! Our team will work with you to ensure that your fruit trees are given the best chance to thrive.

One of the main reasons to prune fruit trees is to improve air circulation and light penetration. This helps reduce the risk of disease and pests, and also improves the yield and quality of the fruit. We also recommend pruning to contain the size of some fruit trees in order to keep fruit within reach when harvesting.

It doesn't matter if you have mature trees or young trees. Our expert pruning methods will support the health and longevity of any tree.

Before commencing work, our professional arborists will assess your tree to provide a clearly defined objective and cost estimate. 

Shade trees

If your yard features a magnificent larger shade tree with large branches, corrective and structural pruning can still be beneficial. In fact, poor pruning (or lack of pruning trees altogether) can set them up for many issues as they mature. In a shade tree, we may recommend crown thinning, crown raising, crown cleaning and clearance pruning to clear from structures.

What is the best season for pruning trees?

Most trees and shrubs can safely be pruned at any time throughout the year. There are some trees in which our Certified Arborists may recommend pruning while they are dormant. Our highly experienced and Certified Arborists can visit your property to accurately provide a detailed plan for the best time to care for your trees and vegetation.
