Tree Trimming & Pruning

Maintain Your Trees

Tree trimming services performed by ISA certified arborists enhance the natural beauty and structure of trees. These trees grow into well-shaped, healthy trees. Proper tree pruning and tree trimming early will also help reduce the need for corrective tree services later. A strong central leader and well-placed branches will minimize tree damage and tree removal.

Tree trimming provides a variety of benefits to your trees and landscape:

Health

Our tree pruning services include the removal of diseased, broken, or dead branches. This removes disease-causing insect habitat and prevents decay-producing fungi from penetrating and infecting other areas of your tree. The removal of live branches is occasionally necessary to allow increased exposure to sunlight and circulation of air within the canopy. We also remove crossing and rubbing branches to eliminate future wounding sites and improve structure.

Safety

Tree pruning can protect against storm damage from Kansas ice, snow or wind storms, and the danger of falling limbs. This is particularly a concern for trees along pedestrian paths, driveways, and surrounding homes and buildings. Also, it is often necessary to prune trees with low-hanging branches in certain areas in order to eliminate interference with pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Appearance and Restoration

Tree pruning for appearance and restoration is essential for maximizing the beauty of formal plantings. It also assists with landscape maintenance and tree preservation.

Structural

Young tree pruning is pruning performed for structural enhancement. This important procedure helps ensure that your new trees have desirable branch architecture and structural integrity. Proper pruning of specimens when they are young reduces the potential of costly problems and the need for structural support as your landscape matures.

Visual Access

Increase your landscape’s value, and enhance its beauty with vista tree pruning. Vista pruning creates visual access to golf courses, lakes, gardens or other picturesque views while maintaining privacy where desired.

ArborThrive is a comprehensive plant health care program for trees and shrubs. The goal of the ArborThrive program is to keep your trees healthy and beautiful for years to come through preventive care and maintenance.

ArborThrive addresses potential problems on your property and offers proactive treatments. A proactive approach to managing trees is best, because a reactive approach can be too late.

Trees are susceptible to secondary infections or infestations if primary stressors are not addressed. Multiple, compounding issues kill most trees rather than one single issue. Each issue should be addressed as it arises. Timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent a downward spiral, ultimately resulting in death of the tree.
