Practical Tree Pruning -
Not Just Cutting Branches

With more than 35 years of experience working with trees and vegetation, Scott takes a practical approach to pruning, considering the tree, the property and what you're trying to achieve. 

Whether branches are growing toward the roof, creating excessive debris, obstructing access or simply need careful reduction, the aim is appropriate pruning without removing more of the tree than necessary.

Does Your Tree Need Pruning? 

Trees don't always need heavy pruning. Often, selective pruning of the right branches can achieve the required clearance while retaining the tree's natural form and healthy canopy.

Pruning may be worth considering when branches are growing toward roofs or buildings, obstructing access, creating ongoing debris problems or when particular branches need careful reduction.

Branches Near Roofs & Gutters

Selective clearance can help reduce vegetation contact and the amount of leaves, bark and other debris reaching the roof and gutters.

Overgrown or Obstructing Branches

Branches affecting driveways, paths, buildings or usable areas can often be selectively pruned rather than heavily cutting the whole tree.

Canopy Reduction & Selective Pruning

Less Can Be More With Tree Pruning 

Good pruning doesn't mean removing as much foliage as possible. Appropriate selective pruning can often achieve the required outcome while retaining a more healthy canopy and reducing unnecessary stress and regrowth.
