Tree pruning

The reason for pruning a large tree is often its health and integrity. It can also affect the safety of people, objects, plantations or the buildings that surround it. Let’s not forget the aesthetic reasons for the tree itself and the landscape. Pruning allows trees to breathe and have space between their branches, so they can continue to grow and provide the benefits of nature. There are many factors that can accelerate the aging of trees, such as pollution, torrential rains or storms. And in any case, a pruned tree is much safer than a wild tree. Regardless of the general pruning period, a tree can be pruned at any time, especially in situations where branches may be a nuisance to neighbors. Or if the tree needs a major cleaning due to its general condition. Height pruning is established to restore the balance between specimens that grow in a common space, and those that need security reinforcement.

We carry out complex felling and pruning operations. We always take the utmost safety precautions, both for the professional tree felling crew and for the surrounding buildings. And we always carry out a preliminary study to advise you on the best solution before proceeding. Because often it’s not necessary to cut down a tree, and all you have to do is correct its growth and avoid any possible dangers with appropriate pruning. Our pruners have all the necessary qualifications, the right tools and equipment, and the awareness of danger. The first requirement is to prepare for the felling operation: Clear all objects from around the tree. Check that the tree is not diseased before felling. Prune the branches before bringing it down. Reduce the height of the trunk by successive cuts. Guide the falling tree with notches and strong ropes. Contact us to have your large trees felled
