Trees need to be pruned for a number of reasons including: safety, aesthetics and tree health.

Broken or dead branches can be dangerous if they fall - often times without warning, even on a calm day! If a tree’s branches grow too big for the tree or are too close to your roof or chimney, they need to be pruned and cleared to prevent them from damaging your home.

From an aesthetic perspective, pruning can help make a tree look better or provide you with a better view of your property or horizon. If you are thinking about pruning a tree, be sure to use an experienced professional. Unskilled and uneducated workers can damage your trees and property.

Hazard assessments are best done by a professional arborist. As trees grow and age they become subject to many stress factors that may affect their structural integrity. It is important to have a certified arborist visit your home and advise you of any possible danger from tree failure.
