Most trees benefit from tree trimming and pruning every few years, and it costs far less than dealing with a branch that has already fallen. We carry out this work on homes and properties across Cainsville and east Brantford, and we are fully insured for it.

A tree on shallow soil is held by a wide flat root plate rather than deep anchoring roots. The crown acts as a lever against that plate every time the wind blows.
Reducing the crown shortens the lever. On ground like this, tree trimming and pruning does more for stability than anything else available, and the effect lasts for several years.
A single visit normally takes ten to twenty percent of the living crown. That much comes back without effort and keeps the tree in good shape for years.
Go well beyond it and the tree has to draw on stored reserves. What grows back is fast, soft and badly attached, which leaves the tree in worse condition than before. Your quote states the figure we intend to remove.
The disease is a fungus, and it is fatal to oaks. It travels from tree to tree on beetles, and those beetles are attracted to any fresh cut made while the tree is growing.
In the dormant months there are no beetles flying, so the same cut carries no risk. Oak work is therefore booked for winter. Ask in spring and you will be offered a winter date, with the reason explained.
Where a branch joins the trunk there is a raised ring of tissue. Cutting just clear of it leaves the tree able to grow over the wound and shut it.
Roots sitting in wet clay have less oxygen available, which means the tree has less energy for sealing wounds. Tree trimming and pruning here is therefore kept light, with correct cuts and modest volumes.
Light is what shapes a roadside tree. The branches reach out over the open street and stay sparse on the side the building shades, so the weight gradually collects above the traffic.
That is why the tree trimming and pruning we do on these trees is uneven on purpose. Weight comes off the road side, and the shaded side is left to develop.
Yes. Nothing else in tree care returns as much for as little. Fifteen years and three short appointments will fix the framework of a tree permanently.
What happens on those visits is simple: settle on one leading stem, cut out its rivals, take away anything rubbing, and lift the lower branches a stage at a time. Leave it until the tree is mature and the same faults need hardware or felling.

A crown that has grown too dense or too wide can be corrected without harming the tree. Crown thinning and canopy reduction are the two treatments for that, and we carry out both on mature trees around Cainsville and east Brantford.

A tree with a weak fork does not always have to come down. Tree cabling and bracing can support it for many more years, and we install both across Cainsville and east Brantford. We will also tell you plainly when hardware is not the right answer.
