Tree trimming operations involve climbing, pruning, and felling trees. Hand and convenient power machines such as loppers, trimmers, and chainsaws make the essential cuts. Skilled and qualified professionals in the field know how each tree species will act in response to various types of treatments. Most usual maintenance pruning can be done at any time of the year.

Crown Clean-out:

Crown Cleaning is the method of removing lifeless, unhealthy, jam-packed, weakly attached and low-vigor twigs from a tree’s crown. This type of pruning can be performed year round. The benefits of crown clean out are that it provides esthetically pleasing appearance to the tree as well as risk of insect infestation due to dead wood is reduced.

Crown Elevation:

Crown Elevation is the elimination of lower twigs from a tree’s canopy to provide the desirable clearance for structures, vehicles, pedestrians, or for visual value.  This does not always mean that the branches need to be removed completely from the tree trunk. Crown elevation gives a clean and balanced look to the tree’s canopy.

Cabling/Bolting:

It involves the setting up of high power cables and/or threaded bar to raise structural integrity in trees.

Crown Reduction:

Crown Reduction, also known as drop-crotch pruning, is used to trim down the height or width of a tree. Limbs are cut back to laterals not less than 1/3 the width of the parent branch and are big enough to presume the apical leader role. It helps in maintaining structural integrity of the tree. Sometimes this is considered to be the only choice to remove the tree.

When pruning trees, the only cuts should be made at:

• Prune dead branches which may prove dangerous to the tree.
• Removing branches that cross and rub against each other.
• Eliminating limbs that obstruct with wires or buildings.
• Removing unhealthy or insect infected limbs.
• Branches damaged by storm and other natural calamities.
• No branches should be removed without any genuine reason.
