Importance of Tree Trimming and Pruning
When we trim your trees, we are doing several things at once. These are the simultaneous benefits of trimming / pruning.
Trimming and Pruning:
1) Shapes Your Trees, so that they have a more pleasing appearance. When left to itself, a tree can develop a messy appearance, growing whichever way. Sometimes this can lead to it looking unkept.
2) Enhances the Health Of Your Tree. When a tree is left untouched, it can sometimes begin to grow asymmetrically. The problem with this is that it can become too heavy on one side; and, at some point, the tree may become unable to support this overgrowth. Proper tree maintenance helps to guide it back into a balanced growth pattern, helping it to stay healthy and vibrant.
3) Protects Your Property. During normal tree maintenance, we will cut away dead branches, dead and dying limbs. The problem with leaving them in the tree, is the branches can 1) fall on property, resulting in costly damage, or worse 2) fall on people, resulting in injury.
These are just a few reasons to prune and trim your trees. If you are looking for a professional tree trimming company here in North Port, we'd love to talk with you and see how we can serve you today. You can fill out the form on this page, or else give us a call at (941) 347-0739.
What is the difference between pruning and trimming?
While a lot of people assume that trimming and pruning are the same thing, there are actually some differences.
Trimming: Trimming is done with the goal of improving the overall shape of the tree. The approach is to give it a pleasing and healthy shape, and improve its structure. It is done to maintain its aesthetic appeal, such as looking well-rounded and clean.
Pruning: Pruning is done to improve the health of the tree. Pruning can be used to reduce crowding in the upper or lower “crown”; this helps to keep the tree healthy. Sometimes it can begin to grow too much in the upper part, crowding out light and air for the lower crown. This can result in an unbalanced growth pattern and lead to dead limbs or dying branches in the lower crown. Pruning removes these dead or dying branches. When we prune, we also are on the lookout for any diseased limbs, such as Anthracnose, Apple Scab, Oak Wilt, and other ailments. These will need to be pruned away before they spread to other healthy parts of the tree.

Some Different Methods of Pruning We Use:
1. Crown Thinning. This is the process of cutting away the smaller, structurally weak branches. This is done towards the top of the tree, allowing more light and air to penetrate to the rest of the tree. It also takes the weight off of the lower branches.
2. Dead Pruning. This is simply removing dead or dying limbs. This not only improves the aesthetic of the tree, but it also removes the possibility those dead limbs falling down.
3. Crown Reduction. Crown Reduction makes sure that your tree is not too heavy towards the top. This is especially helpful for younger trees, as it allows them to grow stronger without excessive weight coming from the top.
4. Crown Lifting. Crown lifting is literally the “lifting” of the lower branches. We normally focus this techqniue towards more the younger, less mature trees. This kind of pruning helps to get low hanging branches out of the way of sidewalks, walkways, driveways, and other places on which it may be encroaching.
While these are all preventative pruning measures, sometimes pruning is reactive. For example, perhaps a limb has already fallen down, or there is already some dead branches within the tree that need to be dealt with; or the trunk of the tree is cracking.

7 Most Commonly Asked Questions about Tree Trimming:
1) What is tree trimming, and why is it important?
Tree trimming (also called "pruning") is when we selectively remove branches and limbs in order to improve the tree's health, appearance, and also safety. It's important, not just for appearances, but also for helping to reduce hazards during a storm. During heavy winds, loose branches can easily swing or fall onto your house or other property. Proper pruning helps to minimize these risks.
2) How can I tell if I need to do tree trimming?
Some of the most common tell-tale signs could be crossed branches, dead or diseased limbs. When you see dead branches just hanging in the tree, that is on obvious sign, of course. Another sign might be that your branches are growing into your house, into power lines, or other property. Those are all great reasons to give us a call to do some tree trimming for you.
3) Can I do it myself, or should I call a tree trimming company?
While light pruning can certainly be done by homeowners, the larger jobs should really be done by a professional. Heavy limbs and tree branches are sometimes unpredictable, and can fall or twist in a way you might not expect. It is for these reasons you may want to consider hiring a team of tree surgeons, who are highly trained to take down the branch in a precise and safe manner.
4) What are the benefits of pruning?
There are several benefits to pruning. Here are just two: first, it will immediately improve the overall appearance of your property. This not only improves the feel of your property, but also improves its value. Second, professional pruning will also help to minimize the risk of falling branches or falling limbs during a storm.
5) How much does tree trimming cost?
This is based on several factors, such as the size of the branch or branches, its accessibility, and its location. For example, a tree with limbs that are easy to get to will be less expensive than a tree where the branch is almost growing on top of the house - as a lot more care and time will have to be taken in that case. The best way to know for sure is to give us a call, and let us come do a professional evaluation of your particular project.
6) How often should I trim my trees?
This answer depends on how fast the tree is growing, what kind of tree it is, and how short you want the branches to be. Usually, trees are trimmed eery 3-5 years or so for general maintenance.
7) Can trimming help the health of my tree?
Yes! When we strategically remove unhealthy branches or dead limbs, it creates more air and room for the healthy trees to grow. Additionally, sometimes part of the trees energy is being put into branches that are not producing. When you remove these limbs, the tree will redirect its energy into the good branches.
