Tree Pruning

Pruning benefits trees in numerous ways, such as:

• Increasing their lifespan
• Improving appearance
• Reducing the likelihood of disease
• Increasing growth by removing blocks to sunlight
• Lowering the chance of property damage in a windstorm
• Helping trees stay structurally sound

From freeing up a full canopy to allow more sunlight to come through to fine-tuning a tree and size management, The Grounds Guys can assist. Common plants our residential pruning service covers include the following:

• Oak trees: We recommend pruning oak trees every two to three years. Regular pruning is an excellent way to keep a well-maintained tree and ensures the branches aren't too thin or too long.
• Maple trees: Pruning a maple tree helps maintain a desirable size and assists in developing an excellent branch structure. By carefully removing branches, our experts can minimize or eliminate structural issues.
• Rose bushes: Pruning rose bushes is an excellent way to promote flowering. Pruning is essential because it helps prevent disease.
• Hedges: Shrubs can get very thick if pruned incorrectly, which can prevent sunlight from penetrating them and stunting their growth. Cutting back on the branches allows sunlight to enter, enabling flowers or fruits to blossom.

The Grounds Guys offer various pruning methods, as different trees and shrubs have different goals. We provide the following types of pruning:

• Crown thinning: This is an excellent way to open the tree's canopy so sunlight and air can come through the branches, leaves, and lawn below.
• Deadwood removal: Large amounts of deadwood are not a great look on trees. Deadwood removal improves the tree's balance and makes it aesthetically pleasing.
• Shaping: This technique improves the structure and long-term health of trees and shrubs.
