What is Tree Pruning and Tree Trimming?
Pruning is the process of selectively removing dead and unwanted branches to enhance the trees structure and encourage new, healthy growth. Tree trimming is focused primarily on aesthetics, helping to maintain a trees shape and improve the appearance.
Trimming is typically done once or twice a year, or when you feel your tree is looking out of shape. Pruning is generally done strategically throughout the year, with the timing dependent on the species of tree. Our expert arborists can advise on the best pruning schedule for your trees.
Why Tree Trimming and Pruning is Important?
Without trimming and pruning, a tree can become weak and less likely to survive the harsh winter months. The main benefits include:
-
Tree health Trimming and pruning eliminates dead and dying branches. This prevents further decay and allows new, healthy branches to grow.
-
Reduce pests Critters and pests are attracted to un-pruned trees, because the dense branches give extra cover. Cutting away dead branches gives them less places to hide.
-
Minimise risk Dead and decaying branches can become loose and ultimately a hazard. Tree pruning and trimming eliminates unsafe branches, which is especially needed after a storm.
-
Improve appearance Regular pruning and trimming improves the overall appearance and structure of your trees. This also enhances the curb appeal of your home.
-
Better sunlight exposure A dense, decaying canopy can block sunlight from getting through to lower branches and to the plants beneath a tree. A pruned tree, allows sunlight to the lower branches, which encourages healthy growth.

Tree Pruning & Trimming FAQs
Why is tree pruning and trimming important?
Pruning and trimming help maintain the health of your trees by removing dead, diseased, or overgrown branches.It also improves the tree’s structure, promotes better growth, and enhances its appearance. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of falling branches and keeps your landscape looking neat.
When is the best time to prune or trim my trees?
The ideal time to prune or trim trees is during their dormant season, typically in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This allows for optimal recovery and minimises stress on the tree. However, dead or dangerous branches can be removed any time of year.
How often should I prune or trim my trees?
Most trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, depending on their species, size, and health. Some fast-growing trees may need more frequent trimming, while others can go longer. It's important to monitor your trees and address any issues like overgrowth, disease, or storm damage as needed.
Can I prune my trees myself, or should I hire a professional?
While light pruning, like removing small dead branches, can be done by homeowners, larger or higher branches require special tools and expertise. Hiring a professional ensures safe and proper pruning, especially for large trees, to avoid injury or damage to the tree.
Will pruning damage or stunt the growth of my tree?
When done correctly, pruning will not damage the tree. In fact, it encourages healthier growth by removing weak, dead, or overcrowded branches. Over-pruning, however, can stress the tree, so it's important to follow proper guidelines or hire an experienced arborist.
