Tree pruning can be a great alternative to removing a tree entirely. Doing so can reduce safety risks and improve the aesthetic of a tree while also being a cheaper alternative to tree removal.
A practice known as ‘dead wooding’ involves the removal of all dead limbs from a tree. While this doesn’t impact the health of a tree at all, it can significantly reduce the potential for branches falling and make the tree look fresh and healthy.
Some solar panels are significantly hindered by just one or two problematic branches. By carefully observing the shade that trees cast on your solar panels, it may be possible to target prune particular branches to boost solar productivity.
When it comes to bush fires, limbs that overhang your house are the most likely to drop leaves in your gutters and elevate the risk of fire to your house. By pruning trees appropriately, it’s possible to retain the leafy feel, without the leafy gutters.
There is a code of practice that arborists are required to follow in pruning trees. Urban Forestry’s qualified arborist Carl knows just how to prune branches and climb trees so as to ensure the ongoing health of the tree.
