General Info

As a homeowner, you should pay careful attention to the trees that surround your house. Dead limbs and some smaller roughage can pose a danger to you and your family, as well as your home if your trees are not cared for properly. Essentially, proper pruning is essential for a healthy and aesthetically pleasing tree. Pruning is needed when first planting a tree to control its growth and to help develop its shape. Pruning can help spur growth in foliage, fruit, and flowers as well as remove diseased and damaged areas. Late winter and early spring offer good tree and shrub pruning opportunities because its far easier to see the shape of the tree and the branch patterns without the foliage.
