Tree Removal & Pruning


Tree Removal


Tree removal is discouraged wherever possible in favour of trimming to control growth, but unfortunately, in some cases, there are no alternatives, such as:

  • the tree is dead or dying
  • weather or other damage has rendered the tree hazardous and irreparable
  • the tree has grown to the point where it (either height or root structure) is a danger to it’s surroundings, or is likely to cause catastrophic damage in the likely event that, at some point in the near future, it’s support collapses.
  • the tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning or other measures
  • the tree is overcrowding or otherwise interfering with the proper growth of it’s surroundings.
  • landscaping, construction or other factors require removal of the tree

Pruning


An arborist can determine if and when pruning is necessary in order to maintain or improve the health, appearance, or safety of the tree or it’s surroundings. Pruning is often necessary in order to:

  • remove branches interfering with or causing damage to wires, roofs, chimneys, or other structures or pathways
  • eliminate branches interfering with one another or proper growth of the tree
  • remove weak, dead, or broken branches that may affect the health of the tree or pose a threat to safety
  • remove diseased, insect-infested, or weather damaged portions of a tree
    improve structural integrity and safety by decreasing wind resistance
    train young trees
  • remove portions of a tree in order to improve aesthetics or visibility of the surroundings, or increase light penetration
  • shape the tree for beautification
