What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

A tree may need pruning for a variety of reasons, Trimming is a more maintenance oriented service.:
· to remove diseased or storm-damaged branches
· to thin the crown to permit new growth and better air circulation
· to reduce the height of a tree
· to remove obstructing lower branches
· to shape a tree for design purposes

At Tree Musketeers we specialize in fine tree pruning, making your tree a work of art while maintaining the health of your tree. A properly pruned tree aside from beautifying your property, will increase the overall health of your tree (if done properly – that’s where we come in) , provide shade on home to help with cps bill, and allow turf to come back to life. We offer three levels of pruning to fit your desired budget and needs. A seasoned professional will gladly provide more information on these services when walking through your property and providing a free estimate. Unlike some of our competition, we never use spikes on a live tree, rather we climb with ropes and saddles. this practice allows us to move around a tree safely and not poke unneccesary holes through a trees cambium layer. Tree Musketeers Arborists are qualified to evaluate the condition of your trees and determine the best type of pruning to balance your goals and your checkbook.
