Tree Pruning and Tree Trimming

At Marquis Tree Service we have the proper training and education to prune your trees properly. There are several important reasons for pruning a tree.

Clearance: The most common reason to prune a tree is to provide clearance from structures and overhead wires. Tree limbs that are to close to a roof can cause damage because the roof does not dry adequately after wet weather. Also squirrels and other animals can use tree limbs to access your attic. Branches that are to close to overhead wires can produce dangerous situations and can cause interruptions in utility service.

Health and structural: Trees can be pruned to promote health and vigor as well as to increase the structural stability of a tree. Pruning trees improves air flow between the branches and allows for better sunlight penetration. A properly pruned shade tree dries quicker which makes it much less susceptible to insect attacks and fungal diseases. A properly pruned tree will also allow wind to path through the tree and reduce the chances of damage during high winds. Removing weak crotches and rubbing or crossing branches helps the tree stay strong and healthy.

Safety and Aesthetics: A properly pruned tree is not only safer it's beautiful!

Remember don't trust your trees to just anyone. Improper pruning techniques can cause trees to become unsafe and unhealthy.
