Types of Tree Pruning
When is the last time you thought about the trees on your property? You may love to look at them, but are you sure how to best care for them? Trees provide air quality, privacy, a harmonious view, and more.
But are you caring for your trees properly? To keep your trees healthy for years to come, you’ll want to work with an experienced tree service company.
You may want to enhance safety, mobility, or aesthetics on your premises. Tree pruning will help with each of these.
Wondering what types of tree pruning methods there are and when to use them? Keep reading to learn more.
Tree Pruning for Safety
A major concern for every property owner is safety. Pruning trees that are near important structures such as your home, playscape, and vehicles saves you from the risk of damage. Weakened tree canopies, heavy storms, and even snowfall can cause large limbs to break potentially impacting your property.
Another safety concern involves decreased visibility. You may find that overgrown trees are inhibiting your ability to see the road when pulling out of your driveway. This can all be fixed with some intentional tree trimming.
You’ll want to keep up regular inspection of your trees. That way you’ll recognize the warning signs before it’s too late to act.
Tree Pruning for Clearance
If you live in a wooded area you’ll notice over time that the trees on your property may begin to crowd your driveway, roof, utility lines, and more. If not maintained, overgrown tree limbs can cause a range of problems such as: impacting driveability along your driveway, promoting moss growth on your roof, loss of power during heavy snowfall, and/or lack of mobility with your lawnmower.
If this is you, it’s time to speak with your tree service company about trimming for clearance.
Tree Pruning for Beauty
Another type of tree pruning you will want to consider is for aesthetic purposes. An experienced arborist can take a look at your property as a whole and determine how best to increase its tidiness and appearance.
Pruning to ensure that your favorite ornamental trees and shrubs maintain their proper form is also something that requires skill, and regular maintenance.
Tree Pruning for Stability
You’ll want to consult experienced tree trimmers to assess the structural integrity of your trees. A trained eye can check for potential threats such as co-dominant stems. This condition is commonly referred to as “double leaders” or “two-stemmed trees”. It is very common and unfortunately results in weak unions that are prone to breakage.
Early-stage pruning practices that encourage one dominant leader on a tree can prevent this growth habit from occurring, however, this is often not achieved. A trained arborist can help you to access the next best strategy to mitigate any potential problems caused by the presence of co-dominant stems.
Your tree service may also want to do a general crown cleaning to make sure your tree canopy is balanced and has proper airflow. Keeping your trees stable is key to maintaining their longevity.
Tree Pruning for All Your Needs
Next time you search “tree pruning near me” online, you’ll be prepared. You now know how to identify the types of tree pruning you may need on your property.
Partnering with an experienced company will not only keep your trees healthy, but it will also keep your property and family safe!

This is the third time I've used Justin and his crew of Arbortech. He and his crew go above and beyond in the services they provide. They do all, and then some, of what I contracted them to do. His crew is personable, professional, and tidy. They left my place cleaner than when they got here. Can't say enough. Use them. You won't be disappointed.Tracy Cole2023-10-13Great job…nice clean up!! Will use them again!!!Roger Leardi2023-10-12These guys are professionals. They came when they said they would, they were quick, neat and professional. They did exactly what they quoted. The crew was polite and friendly. I was super pleased with the service and would highly recommend them if you need tree service.Venus Dickson2023-09-28Arbor tech and their crew were amazing!!! Not only did I not have to wait a long time to schedule the work, but they also came on time the day of. The crew were friendly, professional and helpful. They went above and beyond what I expected them to do. They even cleaned up afterwards as if they weren’t even there. The price I was quoted was reasonable and they did not charge more than was quoted. The whole experience was fantastic. I will be using them in the future. I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed.Pamela Hayden2023-09-22Absolutely the very best. They arrived on time. The yard was taken care of and left in perfect shape. They did everything we asked ……we will definitely be using them again. The gentlemen doing the job were pleasant and professional.Richard Roy2023-09-22All aspects of our experience with Arbortech were beyond expectation (5+ stars at all levels). From the scheduling process and ongoing coordination and discussions with Lindsey to the onsite discussions with Justin, and finally with the crew while the work was being done, we couldn't be happier. They listened, they provided insight to our project while remaining very sensitive to our privacy concerns with the trimming of our pines. In an evolving world where a lot of customer care seems to have vanished, we are grateful we found a company where it seems to be a core component of their values. HIGHLY RECOMMENDEdward Figiela2023-09-11That are a great company to work with would recommend them to all!!Greer Cunningham2023-09-09From start to finish our experience with Arbortech was wonderful! Lindsey was extremely responsive and worked with us to set up both the estimate and schedule the work. She even communicated with our neighbor to coordinate the timing as we needed to use their driveway for the job. Justin came promptly to look at our trees, explained our options in a very clear an professional way, and gave us an extremely fair estimate. The guys who came and did the work did a really great job and cleaned up everything afterwards, so we (and our neighbor) were very happy. They were also very friendly and gracious even though they were working during a crazy heat wave- they appreciated the popsicles I gave them! I highly recommend Arbortech Tree Service!
