The best way to improve the safety of your property in relation to your trees is through prescriptive routine pruning and maintenance. The art and science of pruning takes years to master. It is complex tree work and should be performed or supervised by highly skilled tree technicians. When done correctly it is an exercise in doing what is best for the trees long term health and structure while considering multiple factors such as clients objectives, safety, and location.
At Lynx Tree Care we look at what's best for a tree's long term health and structure because we know that every cut we make causes some degree of damage/stress. The long term benefits must outweigh the hopefully short term stress caused by the pruning cuts. This requires a strong understanding of tree biology and structure. Proper pruning helps trees to thrive and become healthier, stronger, and safer. When pruning is done incorrectly, the damage is often irreparable and may not present itself until years later. The bottom line is that improper pruning hurts trees — making them more susceptible to damage from insects, diseases, and decay, and more prone to structural failure.
Did you know that many residential tree defects have actually been caused by improper tree maintenance? Unfortunately many of our local trees are not being pruned correctly for long term health and structure, or are being removed unnecessarily. This is being done by both homeowners and people hired to work on trees who simply do not possess the knowledge, ability and/or refined skills to perform well-informed tree risk assessments, proper maintenance, tree preservation, and safety mitigation in accordance with the latest industry best standards and practices.
Some of the types of pruning we perform include but are not limited to cleaning, thinning, structural, restorative, and vista pruning. Are you wondering if your tree(s) need to be pruned?
