Tree maintenance is vital for a healthy tree. As your tree grows it will need to
have assistance, so it grows in the right
direction. This assistance can be thinning of the limbs or simple pruning.
It is important for pruning to be done as it will provide a number of benefits:
• Removal of
all dead and
diseased limbs.
• Provides
safety from
power lines
and sidewalks.
• Reduces
storm damage
risks.
• Enhances
health and
appearance.
• Trains growth patterns
in young trees.
Safety is enhanced.
Pruning should only be
done by qualified
arborists.
Every pruning cut inflicts a wound on the
tree. The ability of a tree to withstand a
wound is greatly affected by the pruning
cut - its size, angle, and position. It is
important that a professional who is
trained in tree health and evaluation be
involved for each tree related project.
Tree pruning may be
necessary to maintain a tree in
a safe condition, to remove
dead branches, to promote
growth, to regulate size and
shape or to improve the quality
of flowers, fruit or timber.
Improper pruning can lead to trees
becoming unsightly, diseased and/or
potentially dangerous. Professional
pruning is sound for a wide range of
reasons.
These include: removing
branches that interfere with wires, building
facades, gutters, roofs, chimneys,
windows, or that which obstructs streets or
pavements; eliminating branches that rub
each other; creating better structure to
lessen wind load so reducing risk; the
removal of branches to increase light
penetration; removing damaged branches
by adverse weather conditions; training
young trees; removing dead or weak
branches that pose a hazard or may lead
to decay; improving the aesthetic value of
the tree.
Trees that have been properly
trimmed and pruned live longer and offer a
natural appearance.
There are so many benefits for good tree
maintenance and Avalon believes in
caring for trees, the wildlife and the
environment in general.
Look after your
trees and they will give you many years of
joy and pleasure.
Hedges are just as important to the
garden as most trees, as a well maintained
hedge can keep your garden looking tidy and
add house appeal.
At Avalon not only do we specialize in tree
work but we also consider hedging to be just
as important.
Like most trees, hedges should
now have completed their year's worth of
growing, so cutting your hedge at this time of
year means you will benefit from the maximum
time before it starts re-growing again in the
spring.
Benefits of cutting hedges
at this time of year will mean less disruption to
nesting birds and wildlife and provides vital
shelter throughout the winter months.
Hedge maintenance may look
easy but if attempted by a
non-professional can
lead to permanent
damage and
scaring.
We also offer many other services including crown reductions, crown thinning, crown lifting, removals, pollarding, pruning, stump grinding, tree planting, felling and much more.
