LESS IS MORE: THE ART OF EFFECTIVE TREE TRIMMING, TREE PRUNING & TREE MAINTENANCE
Tree pruning (or tree-trimming) is the most common tree maintenance treatment we perform. Perhaps you’re mowing the lawn and find yourself having to duck under some low hanging branches. The wind could be causing branches of a tree to rub against your window. You might be unable to see past a shrub planted just outside of your living room window. All of these are reasons for pruning trees and shrubs, part of an overall effective tree trimming and tree maintenance program for your residential or commercial property in Ottawa.
Professional tree pruning begins with an understanding of tree biology. There are several questions to consider before hiring a tree service professional for tree trimming, such as: how much to prune, when is the best time to prune, and why you should prune a tree. Count on Wright Tree Service in Ottawa for professional tree maintenance.

Benefits of Having a Certified & Trusted Arborist Prune your Tree
Tree pruning may seem like a simple task at first, but it can become quite complicated. If you don’t have a great knowledge of trees, you could end up cutting off too much of your tree or leaving improper cuts which could both lead to disease in your tree. You could also injure yourself by not taking proper safety precautions when dealing with falling branches and other hazards. Once you’re done pruning your tree you still have to collect all the debris and properly dispose of it.
Our certified arborists know exactly which branches to cut and how to cut them to improve your tree’s health. We always take proper precautions when working to ensure the safety of us, you and your property. Our job isn’t done until we have cleared your property of all debris and disposed of it.

Tree trimming and tree pruning are similar processes but with different goals for your trees and shrubs. Tree pruning is done in order to remove dead, loose, infected, or decaying branches so that your tree can flourish properly. Tree trimming on the other hand is a primarily aesthetic process where appearances are the focus. Tree trimming is done to maintain a tree’s desired shape, to keep it away from hazards such as power cables, and to ensure it is not overgrown which can prevent proper growth of your tree.
How often should I get my tree trimmed or pruned?
Since healthy trees depend on proper tree trimming and pruning, you want to make sure you get it done at the right time. We recommend trimming and pruning young trees every 2 years and older trees every 2 to 5 years. This will ensure your trees will thrive & grow. The best time to trim or prune trees is during its dormant seasons. Contact Wright Tree Service today if your trees are due for a trimming or pruning.
Arborists believe in providing the best possible care to trees, ensuring they are healthy and can thrive. Topping trees injures and can kill trees, which is why certified arborists will not top a tree.
Tree topping, also called hack-racking, heading, rounding over, or tipping is when the top of a tree is cut off, usually because the tree has grown too tall. Topping is harmful because topped trees grow too quickly, the new growth falls off easily, and the trees need a large amount of corrective pruning and care to stay alive. Topped trees are under added stress and have fragile shoots, making them vulnerable to storms, diseases, and pests. This makes topped trees a liability.
What can happen if a tree is pruned incorrectly?
If a tree isn’t pruned correctly it can cause a number of major problems including cankers, decay, and cracks, disease, and other tree defects. Tree branches can’t just be cut anywhere. There are areas of the tree which, if damaged, can cause serious health problems for your tree. Don’t risk causing harm to your tree, contact Wright Tree Experts today. We can help you remove your trees.
