Langley & Fraser Valley Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning
Experts when it comes to tree trimming and pruning
There is more to pruning that simply sawing off limbs and branches. In fact, proper tree pruning and tree trimming should be thought of as an art dependent on the principles of plant physiology. At its most basic: shrub pruning is the removal of dead or structurally weak limbs, to improve the overall health of the tree. Pruning can reduce a tree from falling and obviously deter property damage from falling branches.
To improve the overall health of your tree, pruning helps repair damage and encourage growth. It obviously helps with the visual aesthetic as well. Over pruning can kill your tree. That’s why we believe that in order to maintain structure and encourage growth, pruning should be left to a professional arborist. And, without the proper equipment and training, tree pruning can be dangerous.

When to prune a tree
It is a myth that trees (especially birch and maples) shouldn’t be pruned in the spring. Similarly, it is a myth that you cannot have tree pruning done in the winter. If an arborist follows proper guidelines, then pruning can happen throughout the year. In the spring, trees pruned may bleed however, this has no effect on the tree. Winter is actually a great time for pruning as they are dormant so, any wounds which may occur will only be exposed until the spring when new growth begins. Winter bonus: tree branches are bare which provides a better view of the trees structure and allows any possible issue to become visible.
