Tree Trimming And Tree Pruning Service in Harford County and Baltimore County

Many home owners have trees on their property that have grown out of control and they’re not sure what to do about them. First off, when it comes to trimming or pruning certain types of trees, there are guidelines to follow so you do not potentially damage or harm the tree. Pruning a tree at the wrong time of the year could keep the tree from growing and eventually die. Certified Arborist; Doug Gardner will guide you and advise you on when the proper time to prune and trim your trees would be.

 

You may have trees that are growing over power lines, hanging over into your neighbors yard, and even growing towards your house. None of these situations are safe and can be very hazardous. Never try and attempt to trim large branches or limbs on your own as there could be some unforeseen dangers that you may experience. Always call a professional tree trimming service. Doug’s Tree Service has been trimming and pruning trees for many homeowners in the Harford County and Baltimore County areas for several years with a huge list of satisfied customers.

Trimming Trees And Pruning Trees Extends A Tree's Life

Trimming trees and pruning trees are not the same thing as many people are lead to believe. Trimming a tree is to help it grow correctly and to add a nice outward appearance. Trimming can be done to shrubs and bushes to give them a nice neat appearance in one’s garden or yard. Tree trimming is usually done when branches are overgrown and growing in a manner that is not pleasing to the eye. It is done mostly to keep the growth under control and keep the tree, bush or shrub growing properly. 

 

Pruning trees is to protect or preserve a tree and to help it continue it’s life. Pruning is done in order to remove dead, infected or loose branches so that the tree can continue to grow. As with trimming; pruning is also done to help the aesthetic look and form of the tree. Pruning a tree is done to increase light and air penetration to the inside of the tree’s crown or to the landscape below. Proper pruning, with an understanding of tree biology, can maintain good tree health and structure. A certified arborist is highly recommended for proper tree pruning procedures.  

Tree Pruning Techniques

Specific types of pruning may be necessary to maintain a mature tree in a healthy, safe, and attractive condition.

 

  • Cleaning is the removal of dead, dying, diseased, weakly attached, and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree.
  • Thinning is selective branch removal to improve structure and to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Proper thinning opens the foliage of a tree and reduces weight on heavy limbs.
  • Raising removes the lower branches from a tree to provide better clearance.
  • Reduction reduces the size of a tree’s height. Compared to topping, reduction helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree.
