Why call the experts to prune your trees?

Certain species that have outgrown their environment or suffer from the tips of the crown dying back can be sympathetically reduced back to improve the shape of the tree. This is called a crown reduction and is a very difficult thing to do well and should only be done by experienced arborist. 
 
Proper pruning by a skilled arborist can make the difference between a beautiful healthy tree and a messy, unsightly tree. Every cut made on a tree has the potential to change the growth patterns of the tree. Improper pruning can damage a tree permanently or even shorten its life.
Healthy pruning

Healthy pruning

Healthy pruning involves removing diseased or insect-infested wood, thinning the crown and removing crossing and rubbing branches. Pruning can best be used to encourage trees to develop a strong structure and reduce the likelihood of damage during severe weather.  
 
When a tree is properly "thinned out" it can with stand more from high winds. Because of the tree being "thinned out" the wind will have more areas available to pass through the foliage rather than having a sail like effect on the entire tree. As a result of proper pruning, you avoid future damage to the tree and/or the surrounding property.
