Pruning provides a wide range of benefits, for both trees and people. Not only does it reduce hazardous obstructions and allow for easier entry onto a premises, pruning also promotes vigor and growth, making trees stronger and healthier for many years. It also makes trees look better! See our article, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sooperarticles.com\/home-improvement-articles\/landscaping-articles\/why-important-prune-trees-1618789.html \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Why is it Important to Prune Trees? (opens in a new tab)\">Why is it Important to Prune Trees?<\/a>\u201d to learn more about the various advantages of tree pruning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine tree trimming and pruning are important for these\nreasons, but it is equally important to be sure it is does properly. Improper\npruning can cause irreversible damage to a tree, and even lead to total decline.\nIn the professional tree care industry, tree service contractors adhere to\nstrict ANSI A300 tree pruning standards to ensure tree protection and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crown and Canopy Thinning<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to tree pruning, crown thinning is a practice used\nto selectively remove limbs and branches from only the canopy of hardwood trees\nfor the purpose of increasing light penetration and air movement throughout the\ncanopy. This increases the density of the foliage, and renders a fuller,\nprettier tree. Crown thinning is a delicate and dangerous service that should\nonly be implemented by a trained professional. Aside from danger, improper crown\nthinning can kill a tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Prune Trees<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time of year to prune trees is when they are still dormant. Although you can remove weak, diseased, or dead limbs any time during the year with little to no effect on a tree, full-on pruning should only be carried out before spring growth begins. This means that right now is the perfect time to have your trees pruned! Trees should be pruned once a year by a licensed and insured tree care company that provides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/tree-services\/tree-trimming-pruning.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"ANSI A300 tree pruning services (opens in a new tab)\">ANSI A300 tree pruning services<\/a>.
