At Russell Tree Experts, we understand that trees are not just a part of your landscape; they are vital to the health and beauty of your property. Our comprehensive tree services are designed to enhance the well-being of your trees while ensuring safety and aesthetics.
Tree pruning and trimming are essential for maintaining tree health and structure. Proper maintenance pruning, often referred to as “crown cleaning,” involves the selective removal of crossing limbs, co-dominant branches, and any dead or diseased wood. This practice establishes a strong branching structure, promoting a healthier tree canopy. Our certified arborists follow the ANSI A300 standards, ensuring that every cut made is purposeful and beneficial for the tree.
We also offer pruning to clear spaces around structures, which is vital for preventing damage and ensuring safety. This functional pruning keeps branches at a safe distance from buildings, with specific buffer zones depending on the tree size. For example, smaller ornamental trees are typically cleared by 1-2 feet, while larger shade trees require a distance of 6-10 feet.
Canopy raising is another service we provide, allowing for aesthetic enhancement or functional space creation. This involves pruning the lower outer edge of the tree’s canopy, usually by removing smaller limbs to achieve the desired height. However, we advise against excessive raising, as it can stress the tree.
It’s important to recognize improper pruning techniques that can harm tree health. If a tree is consistently pruned inappropriately, it may be better to remove it and replace it with a more suitable species for the location. This approach prevents ongoing maintenance issues and supports the long-term health of your landscape.
Whether you need tree removal, stump grinding, or specialized services like cabling and bracing, our team is here to help. We also provide emergency services and consultations, including tree risk assessments and pre-purchase landscape inspections.
