Owners of established homes and older properties may be concerned with maintaining the health and aesthetic appeal of mature shrubs and large trees that have been in place for many years. This maintenance will likely include pruning or trimming trees that have grown to considerable heights or are overgrown. In these instances, the use of appropriate techniques may best be left to the skills of an arborist or tree services specialist from GBC Arbor Care rather than using a do-it-yourself approach. You may consider trimming and pruning for the following reasons:

• Pruning safety for large trees

  It’s important to stay on top of removing dead or diseased limbs and cutting branches that may obstruct windows, pathways, driveways, and streets. It can be a liability issue to have these limbs lingering overhead.

• Trimming hard-to-reach areas

  Many property owners with large bushes or hedges may have a hard time reaching the tops or gaining safe access to trim properly. No one should be out on a ladder trying to reach spots with a saw, let our 65 ft bucket truck and expertise aid you in your process.

• Pruning overgrowth

  Let us boost your tree’s health by thinning branches to allow more sunlight and help with healthy future growth (in the right direction) all while enhancing the overall appearance.
