Tree Trimming
Tree Trimming Services In Rochester, MN
Properly pruning, shaping and trimming trees requires skill and expertise, knowing which limbs can be cut and where the cuts should be made. Every tree needs to be pruned periodically to enhance its structure. It is also critical that tree trimming be performed during the right time of year because, depending on the species, doing so at the wrong time can damage or even kill the tree.
Be aware of companies that advertise ‘tree topping’ as a service. Topping trees can cause rapid new growth with numerous new branches than often grow higher than before. Many species cannot tolerate major branch loss, causing the tree to become weak and disease prone. Topping is not a good tree maintenance practice and should not be offered as a service by trained tree care professionals.
Instead of topping, qualified arborists use ‘crown reduction’ to control height when necessary. Crown reduction entails removing select limbs at their junction with the trunk.
