Health: Tree pruning maintains a tree’s health. The removal of dead, dying, or diseased branches helps prevent the further spread of decay. Trees also benefit from increased sun exposure and air circulation that result from proper tree pruning. In addition, tree pruning promotes the growth of new, healthy leaves and branches.

Appearance: Pruning improves a tree’s appearance. Hanging, overgrown branches appear unsightly and hurt a commercial property’s image. A well-maintained tree, however, creates long-term beauty and will have neighbors and people passing by “ooh-ing and aww-ing” over your trees.

Sunlight: Tree pruning allows adjacent plants adequate sunlight. Overgrown branches shade the area directly beneath them, making this region unfit for planting. With the removal of these branches, new and existing plants thrive just below a tree.

Reduce Risks: Tree pruning reduces the chances of accidents happening. Trees that aren’t pruned properly become a risk to nearby power lines, which can prove hazardous and create power outages. Hanging branches also pose a threat to buildings just beneath them, especially in stormy weather.

Shape: Tree pruning helps to shape young trees. Pruning results in good branch structure in young trees, and it compensates for root loss. You can add new trees to your commercial property and train them to grow in a way you’d like with regular pruning.
