What are Pruning & Trimming Services?
Lawn mowing, weed pulling, watering, raking leaves–maintaining your New Jersey yard is a significant investment of your time and energy. With all this DIY maintenance, it's easy to overlook some important aspects of maintaining healthy trees. Which things are we talking about? Things like pruning and trimming!
Annual pruning is vital to keep your trees at maximum health. But do you know why?
Regular maintenance pruning helps your trees by:
Removing deadwood, diseased or heavily infested branches, and branches growing too close together to keep your trees healthy
Removing overgrown, broken, cracked, rubbing, and poorly placed branches to keep your trees safe
Promoting healthy growth and bountiful fruit harvests to keep your trees looking beautiful
How Aspen Tree Approaches Pruning
Depending on the tree's needs, our expert crews can employ a variety of pruning strategies to achieve the desired outcome, whether that's pruning for safety, aesthetics, or tree health. Commonly used pruning methods that work well for trees in New Jersey include:
Canopy Raising
If your lower canopy obstructs access to buildings, obstructs pedestrian paths, or just blocks your view, raising the canopy by pruning will solve the issue.
Canopy Thinning
Thick canopies can look healthy, but they may be restricting airflow, cause branches to rub and create wounds, or create a risk of damage due to heavy snow or high winds. Thinning the canopy will increase your tree's health and enhance its safety.
Canopy Reduction
Sometimes, a tree is too large for its space and requires more than just a trim. If your tree’s overall size threatens power lines or other structures, pruning to reduce the canopy can help.
Canopy Cleaning
Sometimes, a tree's canopy has diseased, dead, and crowded branches. Pruning these branches from the canopy will improve the tree's health and appearance.
