Pruning and Thinning
Dead wood out, low branches lifted, and branches cut back from roofs, wires and windows.
Pruning and Thinning
The right cuts, in the right places
Pruning covers the smaller jobs that keep a tree healthy and out of the way: taking out dead branches before they fall, lifting low branches over a drive or path, thinning a dense crown, or cutting back from gutters, roofs and telephone wires.
We tell you what we'd cut and why, and what we'd leave alone. Over-pruning makes a tree throw out masses of weak new growth, so we'd rather take off less and do it properly.
