Pruning is an essential part of any preventative tree care program. It is critical to sustaining your tree’s health by stimulating its natural grown while enhancing its overall appearance. However, pruning requires a deep understanding of a tree’s biology in order to eliminate irreparable damage that can hinder its structural integrity or ruin its aesthetic value.

At Westcoast Tree Care, we have mastered the craft of tree pruning and have a deep understanding of a tree’s biology. By selectively removing branches in order to maintain viable structure, we will not only decrease any potential damage caused by severe storms but promote the health and integrity of a tree during its lifetime.

Benefits of Tree Pruning

Health

At Westcoast Tree Care, our preventative tree care services include the pruning and removal of diseased, broken or dead branches. This promotes the overall health of a tree by removing disease, infestation or decay while eliminating its ability to penetrate and affect other parts of a tree. However, the removal of live branches may also be necessary to increase circulation and sunlight penetration throughout the canopy.

Structure

Pruning helps a tree maintain its structural integrity by eliminating heavy branches and excessive foliage. This important tree care service will not only increase the safety of a tree by eliminating any potential hazards but prevent costly repairs to your home or property after a heavy storm. By having your tree professionally pruned by a certified arborist, you will promote the long-term stability, safety, and health of your tree.

Appearance

First impressions are everything, and your landscape is often the first thing people notice about your home. When your outside property is aesthetically pleasing, the value of your home will increase. However, overgrown or badly pruned trees can easily diminish the visual balance of a yard. By having your trees professionally pruned by a certified arborist, you will not only prevent overgrowth but remove any damaged or diseased branches. This, in turn, will improve the overall appearance of your trees.

Safety

The Pacific Northwest has been hit with quite a few major storms over the past few years. While it’s impossible to prevent all damage from occurring, Westcoast Tree Care can help minimize any potential safety hazards by keeping trees pruned and cared for. Pruned trees are far less likely to fall victim to heavy snow, ice, and destructive winds. By having your trees professionally pruned, you will not only protect your home and loved ones but prevent costly repairs down the road.
