Pruning Services

At Veteran Tree Care, we provide expert pruning services to maintain the health, safety, and aesthetic
appeal of your trees. Proper pruning isn’t just about trimming branches—it’s a strategic process that enhances tree structure, promotes growth, and reduces potential hazards.

We offer four key pruning services tailored to different needs:

STRUCTURAL PRUNING

Proper structural pruning is essential, especially for young and developing trees. It helps establish a balanced
framework, reducing the risk of structural failures as the tree matures.
HOW STRUCTURAL PRUNING HELPS:
> Improves Tree Strength – Encourages a strong central leader and well-spaced branches, reducing breakage risks.
>Enhances Longevity – Corrects structural weaknesses that could cause early decline.
>Prevents Future Hazards – Reduces the chance of limbs splitting due to weak attachments.
>Boosts Aesthetics – Shapes the tree for an attractive, natural form that complements your landscape.
By addressing structural issues early, we help trees grow in a way that
prevents costly damage and ensures long-term stability.

CROWN RAISE PRUNING

Crown raise pruning involves removing lower branches to provide necessary clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, and buildings. Our certified arborists specialize in precision pruning techniques that ensure your trees remain healthy, strong, and visually appealing for years to come.
WHY CROWN RAISE PRUNING IS IMPORTANT:
>Reduces property damage risk – Prevents low-hanging branches from scraping buildings or obstructing driveways.
> Improves visibility & access – Enhances open space under trees, .making your yard more functional.
>Protects tree health – Ensures proper weight distribution and prevents unnecessary stress on lower limbs.
Crown raising is often necessary for urban and suburban environments
where trees grow near sidewalks, driveways, or structures.

HAZARD REDUCTION PRUNING (NO POWER LINES)

Over time, trees develop weak, damaged, or diseased branches that can pose serious safety risks. Our hazard reduction pruning removes these problematic limbs to protect your property, family, and visitors.
SIGNS YOUR TREE NEEDS HAZARD REDUCTION PRUNING:
>Cracked or Splitting Branches – High risk of falling, especially during
storms or strong winds.
>Diseased or Decaying Limbs – Can spread infection to healthy parts ofthe tree.
>Overextended Branches – Heavy limbs that may break under their own weight.
>Storm-Damaged Limbs – Branches weakened or broken by weather events.
Our expert arborists carefully assess each tree and strategically prune
hazardous branches to minimize risk while maintaining the tree’s natural beauty.
Note: We do not offer power line clearance services but can recommend
appropriate solutions if needed.

DEADWOOD PRUNING

Dead or dying branches not only diminish a tree’s appearance but also create serious hazards. Deadwood pruning
removes these limbs to improve tree health, reduce pest infestations, and prevent breakage.
WHY DEADWOOD PRUNING IS ESSENTIAL:
>Prevents Falling Branch Hazards – Dead branches can snap off unexpectedly, endangering people and property.
>Reduces Risk of Disease & Pests – Deadwood attracts fungi, insects, and decay, which can spread to healthy areas.
> Improves Tree Appearance & Vigor –Gives trees a well-maintained look and encourages new, healthy growth.
Deadwood pruning is a crucial step in preserving the integrity and
lifespan of your trees.
Our team removes dead branches with precision, ensuring the tree remains strong and visually appealing.
