HOW TO PROPERLY PRUNE YOUR TREES

10/23/2019

 
Picture
​As the largest provider of full tree care services to Fort Worth, Texas and the entire DFW metroplex region for over 25 years, Tree Service Fort Worth has pruned the trees of many homeowners and businesses throughout our area. 

Our ISA certified arborist, tree care expert and entire team of arbor care professionals are licensed, insured and bonded for your protection, the protection of your home and the protection of all those present within your outdoor grounds. 

​Like any skill, pruning a tree properly requires extensive experience and training to do it correctly.  When in doubt, contact an experienced tree company.  Call us today at (817) 502- 9402.  We always provide a free consultation!

IS PRUNING a TREE REALLY DIFFICULT?

The old idea that using a handsaw or chainsaw is all you need to properly prune trees couldn't be farther from the truth!  We'll put it this way, it is better for your trees not to prune them rather than to prune them incorrectly. 

In nature, does anyone prune those trees?  Haven't you seen impressive, towering trees growing freely in forests or out in the country?  Nature tends to those trees naturally.  In established residential neighborhoods, trees must be tended too and cared for properly.  It takes more to prune trees correctly than just using a handsaw or swinging around a chainsaw! 

​Always contact a tree care specialist when you need assistance with tree pruning.  Your trees are valuable investments that greatly increase your property value.  Don't take chances with your living investments.

MY NEIGHBOR SAID TO JUST CHOP THE BRANCHES OFF AND USE A SEALANT.  IS THAT OKAY?

Definitely not.  Branches and limbs must be cut with precision and accuracy.  You can't just chop them off or your tree will become vulnerable to diseases and infectious agents.  It once was believed that sealants protect the trees; however, sealants can interfere with the tree's natural ability to heal its own wounds. 

​When sealants and tars are used today it is primarily for aesthetic purposes.  In the US, more trees are destroyed or killed each year from improper pruning than from tree diseases.  Do not attempt to prune your own trees without studying and practicing the correct steps.  

CAN'T I JUST USE MY CHAINSAW TO PRUNE MY TREES

​Of course you can, but you run the risk of destroying your trees.  To summarize the definition quickly, pruning is removing parts of the tree to improve its health, enhance your landscape visually or increase the tree's value.  Proper tree pruning must be planned with accuracy.  The fewer the cuts, the better it is for your tree. 

The cuts must be angled correctly and placed in the proper location on the branch.  Tools must be cleaned properly to eliminate the possibility of spreading contamination throughout your tree or the trees in your area. 

​Know your tools and study the correct cutting procedures.  Don't ask an unskilled laborer, friend or neighbor how to properly prune your trees.  Always contact a tree care specialist who will answer your questions and give you expert advise.

​DO I REALLY NEED TO CALL A PROFESSIONAL TO PRUNE MY TREES?

​Unless you are willing and able to study and practice the correct cutting methods and hone your skills using the correct pruning tools, it is always best to entrust the difficult task of tree pruning to an experienced arbor care professional.  Tree pruning is not the same as lightly trimming a tree for visual appeal! 

Tree Service Fort Worth puts you first, so call us and schedule your complimentary consultation with our highly-experienced tree care expert.  We are happy to answer any questions you have regarding properly pruning your trees.  If you desire to learn the specific steps needed to prune your trees yourself correctly, we will aid you in learning and perfecting this difficult, challenging task. 

​Give us a call today at (817) 502- 9402.  We look forward to meeting with you and discussing the options you have.

OUR REVIEWS

2018-1-01

These guys were great. Very professional and knocked out a big job in just a few short hours. They clearly knew what they were doing and went above and behind to carefully analyze the health of each tree, and what was needed. As opposed to trimming and moving on. I highly recommend. They did my neighbor as well.

I needed a tree removed from our front yard this past weekend. I called Josh Anthony with Tree Service Fort Worth they came in at a competitive rate and removed it in a safe manner. I will used them again in the future and recommend them to others in Fort Worth.

Very happy in my dealings with Henry and his crew. Henry came out on short notice to provide some recommendations on trimming and keeping one of my pecan trees healthy. His crew was able to come out a couple days later and were very professional and efficient. They even took the bigger limbs that were removed and cut them down for firewood and stacked the wood. Will definitely work with them again for future tree care.

Had just closed on the new house with beautiful landscape to discover my cypress trees dying and other trees on the property looking ill. Called two other arborist before I discovered Henry. Though there was no saving my already dying trees; the others were diagnosed, treated and saved. Henry was not only knowledgeable but also professional, friendly and extremely reasonable. It is almost shocking to find people like him these days. Highly recommended to all!
