When a Charleston or Mount Pleasant, SC tree is pruned correctly, it becomes beautiful and fits better to its landscape. Pruning also helps to reduce cost of caring for a tree. On the other hand, improper cutting can cause great harm such that, it is better not to prune than to do the work badly. Several techniques help with proper Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island or Mt Pleasant, SC tree trimming.

 

Using proper arboriculture techniques is essential for ensuring a well-manicured, mature landscape that has trees. As an ISA Certified Arborist, Robert provides that experience. Just having a saw or any other tree cutting equipment does not qualify anyone to prune. Only trained professionals who understand what is not required in proper tree care should attempt to remove trees or conduct major pruning.

 

The right way to prune is to remove parts that are no longer needed by the tree and retain those that are needed. Proper trimming of a tree provides the plant with energy enabling it to yield more flowers, fruits and/or branches. Pruning also depends on the location of the tree. Different locations offer different nutrient capacities for the tree to regrow after the tree care has been conducted. Remember, proper pruning/trimming ensures that the tree has enough ability to continue growing.

 

The tree care work done by the certified arborist is done to train the tree on the direction that it should grow and to maintain its health. For landscapes, trees need to look healthy and pruning ensures that they use up limited resources efficiently. Pruning can also be done to restrict growth, and when this is the goal, the most vegetative parts of the tree are the ones cut off.

 

Understanding the outcome of tree care with arboriculture goals in South Carolina is essential. Without a goal in mind, one can prune a tree only to realize that it does not fit its purpose after the act. Unfortunately, removal of limbs and branches cannot be undone, and when done incorrectly, the tree may not regrow to its former glory. Therefore, knowing the role of tree care helps one to do correct pruning. There is a wealth of forestry information at: http://www.trees.sc.gov

 

With all that in mind, there may come a time when the tree is too old, diseased or damaged to save. Tree removal is the last option, but for safety and esthetics, completely removing a tree along with grinding the stump may be the correct choice. We have read and heard of many injuries when homeowners tackle cutting down a tree themselves. It may look safe and simple, but downing a tree is a very dangerous event.
