Pruning trees should be considered a fine art. When done properly this service can add to the aesthetics of your property and raise property value substantially. We take special care to respect different techniques for different species of trees. Pruning of trees should be done with the use of a aerial lift or bucket truck when access allows. When access does not allow use of lifts or bucket truck trees should be climbed “spikeless” this method of putting a climber in trees with out the use of climbing spikes. Trees just like any living thing on this earth, requires wound healing. The healing process takes energy and makes the tree more susceptible to other threats. Even a tree in optimal health could become health compromised, and issues could arise due to the spike holes left from spiking.
Tree injuries and diseases that can occur post a tree being climbed with climbing spikes.
- Bacterial Infections
- Fungi Infections
- Disease Transfer
- Insect Infestation
- Tree Death
- Destroys Natural Defenses
Bottom line is if climbing spikes are used during a tree pruning project you could be paying someone to kill your trees and bring the need to have the trees removed in the near future.
We as a company only prune trees with our bucket truck or spikeless climbing.
Tree topping hurts trees in four, major ways. You remove lots of leaves, which strips away the tree'sfood source. The remaining shortened limbs provide easy access to decay, insects and disease. The tree is forced to quickly grow new limbs that are often too weak to handle storms.
We as a company do not top trees.
