Written by Shannon Landscaping - August 12, 2022
There’s much more to pruning than just cutting branches. It’s really a combination of science and art, and if done properly, it im-
proves both the health and the looks of your trees. Here are five types of pruning that can benefit the trees in your landscape:
Crown Thinning:
Removes smaller outer canopy branches, helping to reduce weight and increase sunlight and air penetration.Crown Cleaning:
Selectively removes hazardous, dead or dying branches from the tree canopy.Crown Reduction:
Carefully removes certain stems or branches back to lateral limbs (as opposed to “topping”, which leaves large, open wounds that subject the tree to disease and decay.)Crown Restoration:
Corrective pruning done over a period of time to restore good structure and appearance in trees that have been damaged or topped. Are you afraid of damaging your trees and shrubs when pruning? Give us a call today and schedule a pruning appointment with the experts at Shannon Lawn & Landscaping.
