Benefits of Trimming Trees
Pruning helps control the size of the tree.
• It keeps the tree within bounds of things like buildings, plants and other trees.
• Careful and selective limb pruning can help maintain the size, shape and structural integrity of your trees.
Trimming can improve the health of a tree.
• Dead or damaged branches affect the health of a tree and weaken it.
• Dead wooding allows the tree to put the energy and growth where it's needed.
• Dead branches can cause decay of the trunk of a tree - pruning these limbs can prevent the spread of the decay.
Pruning can help to shape the tree.
• Sometimes there is a desired form or shape, such as in topiary.
• Some trees and shrubs can be grown against walls (espalier) or on a trellis - plants in this area that will espalier fairly easily include yaupon holly, magnolia, pyracantha, loquat and sea grape.
Pruning helps with the structural strength of the tree.
• It promotes good branch structure.
• Helps to prevent limbs falling.
• Having a tree with good structural integrity reduces the likelihood of damage during severe weather, such as hurricanes.
• We offer crane service to help with the trimming of very large trees.
Trimming enhances the curb appeal for your home.
• A well kept lawn and beautifully trimmed trees always help to maintain the value of your home or property.
• Sometimes just enhancing a beautiful view is all it takes to make your yard go from just all right to fabulous!

For Evergreens
