TREE EDUCATION
Pruning is among the least well-understood and most formidable tree maintenance practices for most home and business owners. If you're like most people, you're likely unsure how to prune and when. However, proper and professional tree pruning is integral for several reasons, including tree health, warding off pests, reducing the risk of disease, healthy growth, and preventing safety hazards. Through tree trimming and pruning, our Gainesville arborist team removes dangerous limbs and maintains your tree for optimal health, beauty, and enjoyment. Here, SkyFrog Tree Service discusses why proper pruning is important.

Boosting the health of your trees through professional pruning services is among the most substantial benefits of this maintenance practice. While tree trimming involves shaping small branches with the purpose of maintaining a tree's natural shape and form, pruning trees involves removing unhealthy parts of the tree, such as infected branches or stems, dead or loose branches, or hazardous limbs. When performed by a certified arborist in Gainesville, FL, such as those with SkyFrog Tree Service, pruning manages and facilitates optimal tree health.
Just as you visit the salon for routine hair trims or haircuts, your trees also require some structural shaping from time to time. Pruning is primarily done to maintain a tree's health and ward off potential infections and hazards, but it is also commonly performed to enhance the appearance of your tree and landscape. Through pruning, our arborists can create highly specialized forms, like hedges, topiaries, and pollards, and rejuvenate old or overgrown trees that need some professional TLC.
Our arborists effectively remediate signs or risk factors of tree disease and/or infestations through pruning. The pruning process allows for the safe removal of dead and diseased branches so your tree can grow healthier, new ones. Any part of a tree can become susceptible to diseases, failure, or infestations for a number of reasons, including storm damage, a lack of nutrients from adequate exposure to sunlight, extreme weather, and fungal or insect infestations. Through pruning, our arborists can help your tree avoid disease and help ensure your trees, property, and those surrounding the tree remain safe today and in the future.
If you have fruit or flowering trees on your residential or commercial property, you're likely eager with anticipation for the first signs of blooms or growth. But without proper tree care, your trees are less capable of producing beautiful flowers, healthy growth, and delicious fruit. Pruning is a great way to help your trees maximize their growth as well as their fruit and flower production. By removing unproductive or potentially harmful branches, pruning opens up the tree canopy for a greater amount of light and nutrient absorption and redirects all the absorbed nutrients to only productive parts of the tree, boosting flowering and fruiting in the growing season.
One of the most significant results of tree pruning concerns safety. Pruning is an essential way to help promote safety and remediate tree-related hazards for your property, structure, animals, and humans alike. Trees that sit close to man-made structures, like a business, home, parking area, walking path, or other areas, can pose a threat to human, structural, and animal safety. Pruning removes branches and limbs that are identified as hazardous, rotted, dying, or weak, as these can easily blow off during a storm, high winds, or at any time of day or night as they become more susceptible to gravitational and force-related factors.
