Pruning is a careful, focused process aimed at supporting a tree’s health and structure over time. It involves removing certain branches to encourage growth, improve shape, and boost flower or fruit production, often using larger tools. Trimming is a simpler, routine task to keep a tree or shrub tidy and well-shaped, usually done with smaller tools.

Whether it’s crown thinning to reduce canopy density, crown raising to increase clearance, or crown cleaning to remove dead or diseased branches, we use whatever is most appropriate for your needs.

Trimming & Pruning Techniques

  • Crown Reduction: We carefully reduce trees’ height and spread, maintaining their natural shape while improving light and airflow. This technique is essential in tight urban spaces and promotes healthy long-term growth.
  • Crown Thinning: By selectively removing crossing, weak, or dead branches, we increase light penetration and air circulation within the tree. Thinning also makes trees less susceptible to breakage during storms, a critical consideration in NYC.
  • Crown Raising: We expertly remove lower branches to provide necessary clearance for walkways buildings, or to enhance views. Our careful branch selection ensures the health and overall form of the tree are preserved.
  • Vista Pruning: We combine aesthetic goals with tree health by strategically pruning branches to open up views of landmarks, skylines, or gardens. This careful approach maximizes both beauty and sunlight.
  • Pollarding and Espalier: These specialized techniques allow us to create unique tree forms or manage trees in restricted spaces. We possess in-depth knowledge of tree biology, ensuring these techniques are applied safely and with the long-term health of your trees in mind.
