PRUNING
PROFESSIONAL TREE AND SHRUB PRUNING SERVICES
Your trees and shrubs require routine pruning to stay in their aesthetically-pleasing shape. However, if your property has overgrown shrubs or trees dangling over pathways or adjacent properties, now is the time to schedule professional pruning. Northwest Tree Service is the tree services company to call for tree trimming and shrub pruning services in Port Alberni, Qualicum, Tofino, and Ucluelet areas.
We understand that overgrowth is unsightly and can become a liability. Diseased, dead, and structurally unsound trees can become a hazard, resulting in injury or structural damage. Our professional arborists help homes and businesses keep their trees, shrubbery, and bushes in good shape in all seasons. Call us to schedule a service.
OUR PRUNING SERVICES
We acknowledge that every tree may respond differently to pruning. Hence, we carefully schedule the pruning at the right time of the year to encourage the natural growth of your trees and shrubs.
CROWN THINNING AND RESTORATION
Cutting off branches allows the circulation and penetration of air and light throughout the tree’s canopy. Thinning keeps your tree in natural shape and reduces weight on branches.
CROWN REDUCTION
This method helps reduce tree height or the canopy’s spread by pruning back branches. It’s the last resort for all trees (except for fruit trees) to avoid complete tree removal.
CANOPY PRUNING
Tree maintenance often involves crown thinning and cleaning to remove dead, weakly attached, diseased, dying, low-vigour, or crowded branches.
HEDGING AND SHEARING
This type of pruning keeps your hedges and dwarf evergreens in a compact appearance. Start pruning early in your plant’s life cycle and repeat it in every season for the best results.
STRUCTURAL PRUNING
This pruning method helps you maintain a consistent appearance of your plants and trees and ensure that there is always a safe space from other buildings, power lines, and trees.
