Pruning of trees consists of removing dead, deceased or damaged branches to maintain a healthy and beautiful tree. Some trees benefit from further care by thinning for light, air circulation, or decreased resistance to wind. Sometimes it’s necessary to remove branches or stems that will be a problem later or are inhibiting a tree’s chance to grow and flourish. Every tree is different and requires professional determination of its needs. When you make an appointment with A Total Tree Service you will be met with Chet Goodrow, a Master Arborist with many years’ experience working with trees in this area.

Proper pruning of ornamentals is essential to their health and beauty. Unfortunately, these are the trees that suffer most often from improper pruning. One bad pruning job on an ornamental can alter that tree's appearance and growth habit for the rest of its life. There are many different kinds of ornamentals. It is important to know how each species grows and responds to pruning before working on them. Through proper species-specific pruning, we can showcase their natural form and beauty keeping them healthy and strong.

We can discuss your pruning goals and make a long-term pruning plan for your fruit trees that focuses on their health and appearance. We look at a tree’s natural growth habit and work with the tree rather than against it. Pruning cuts are selectively made to allow the tree to retain and use its energy rather than repeatedly spending it on recovery and regrowth.
