Maxwell Tree Care offers many types of pruning service including shaping, hazard pruning, fine pruning, vista enhancement, crown cleaning, and crown thinning. Call us today for the best tree management practices available.

Shaping

Shaping is pruning to encourage aesthetics of focal plants and the growth of trees. As a general rule, growth is maximized if pruning is done before bud swell, in early spring. Pruning when trees are dormant can reduce pest issues associated with wounds caused by pruning cuts. Dormant pruning also allows the tree to take advantage of the full growing season to begin compartmentalizing wounds.

Hazard Pruning

Hazard pruning is the removal of weakly attached, dead (2″ diameter or greater), and any hanging limbs to prevent injury or damage to persons or property.

Vista Enhancement

In most cases, tree pruning is of a corrective or preventative nature. There are times, however, when a client wishes to improve a view from a predetermined point. Vista enhancement is the removing, pruning, and thinning of selected trees to enhance view.

Crown Cleaning

Crown cleaning is the selective removal of dead (1″ diameter or greater), diseased, broken, or weakly attached branches from the tree crown. Regular pruning should correct small growth problems, such as crossing or rubbing limbs, before they have a chance to become larger, and often more expensive, issues.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning includes crown cleaning as well as selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Increased light and air stimulates and maintains interior foliage. The removal of selected interior branches also reduces weight, which may prevent mechanical failures in later years.

Fine Pruning

Fine pruning includes Crown Thinning and any dead limbs of 1/2″ diameter and over.

Oftentimes, trees are either too big, located in awkard positions on the property, or in close proximity to targets, to fell easily. In these cases, removal can become a technical process. That’s where a professionally equipped and well-trained service provider like Maxwell Tree Care comes into play. For trees located in areas not accessible by heavy equipment, our experienced climbers use the latest rigging techniques to safely and effectively accomplish the job.

Removing the tree is not when our work is over, though. Maxwell Tree Care’s team understands that no client likes a mess on his property.  We recognize that the removal of debris and thorough clean-up is paramount, and we make every effort to leave a job without anyone ever knowing we were there.
