At Fellers Tree Service, we understand that proper tree trimming is the key to maintaining the health, safety, and aesthetic appeal of your trees and landscape. Our tree trimming services are rooted in expertise and a commitment to ensuring your trees flourish while enhancing the overall beauty of your property.

Why Should You Have Your Tree Trimmed?

Tree trimming, involves the selective removal of branches and foliage to achieve specific goals, such as:

Health and Vitality

Removing dead, diseased, or weakened branches helps improve a tree’s overall health and vitality by redirecting nutrients and promoting new growth.

Safety

Trimming eliminates hazardous branches that could fall during storms or pose a danger to people and property.

Aesthetics

Properly pruned trees not only look more visually appealing but also contribute to an attractive and well-maintained landscape.

Structural Integrity

Trimming can improve a tree’s structural integrity by reducing the weight of overgrown branches and correcting growth imbalances.

Light and Airflow

Trimming opens up the canopy, allowing more sunlight to reach the tree’s interior and improving airflow, which can help prevent diseases and pests.

Trimming vs. Pruning: Understanding the Difference

Tree care involves various practices to maintain tree health, aesthetics, and safety. Two commonly used terms in tree care are “trimming” and “pruning.” While these terms are often used interchangeably, they have distinct purposes and techniques. Understanding the difference between trimming and pruning can help you make informed decisions about the care of your trees.

Tree Trimming

Purpose: Trimming typically refers to the removal of overgrown branches or foliage to maintain a desired shape or size, improve aesthetics, and remove minor, non-hazardous growth.
Techniques: Trimming involves the selective cutting of small branches and shoots to enhance the appearance of a tree without significantly impacting its overall structure or health.
Goals:
- Aesthetics: Trimming is primarily done for aesthetic reasons, such as shaping a tree to fit within a particular landscape design or maintaining a neat appearance.
- Light and Airflow: Trimming can also improve light penetration and airflow within the tree’s canopy, which can be beneficial for ornamental trees or to enhance the view from a property.
Frequency: Tree trimming is often done more frequently than pruning and can be part of regular landscape maintenance to keep trees looking well-groomed
Impact on Tree Health: When done correctly, trimming typically has minimal impact on a tree’s overall health. However, excessive or improper trimming can stress the tree and lead to health issues.

Tree Pruning

Purpose: Pruning is a broader term that encompasses various techniques and is typically used for the long-term health, safety, and structural integrity of trees.
Techniques: Pruning can involve the removal of dead, diseased, or damaged branches, as well as selective thinning to improve light and airflow. It also includes structural pruning to correct growth imbalances or reduce the risk of limb failure.
Goals:
- Health and Safety: Pruning is primarily aimed at promoting the overall health of a tree and reducing safety hazards by removing weak or hazardous branches.
- Structural Integrity: Structural pruning addresses issues like multiple leaders, crossed branches, and excessive branch weight, enhancing a tree’s stability and longevity.
Frequency: Pruning is typically performed less frequently than trimming and is often done on a tree-by-tree basis when specific issues arise.
Impact on Tree Health: Proper pruning is essential for maintaining tree health. It involves making careful and strategic cuts to minimize stress on the tree while promoting healing and growth.
