A Quick Overview of the Benefits of Tree Pruning

Before we dig into the details, let's take a look at the basic benefits you get from having your trees pruned by the experts at Pleasant Landscapes.

Improves the shape and beauty of the tree.
Removes damaged or diseased branches that could harm the tree or cause a safety issue.
Keeps spreading branches away from buildings and power lines.
Allows for higher clearance on sidewalks and roads.
Improves the general health of the tree.
Prevents damage from storms.

Always Put Safety First

When your trees are regularly trimmed, you lower the chances of dead limbs falling to the ground, on top of someone, or on your home. Plus, a tree that is properly pruned is actually stronger and sturdier. That's why pruned trees can hold up against high winds longer than unpruned trees. Don't let a storm send a big branch hurtling through your windows! Put safety first, and get your trees trimmed on a regular schedule.

Dead Branches Invite Pests Into Your Tree

Did you know that dead and diseased branches in your tree invite insects, worms, and other pests to camp out there? Not only will the insects multiply, they could also spread disease throughout your tree and into other trees. Uncontrolled pests will continue to inhabit the tree and weaken it, creating more dead branches, and the cycle continues, putting your tree at more and more risk. Animals may want to nest in the diseased part of the tree, and that could cause a pest problem throughout your whole landscape, and possibly into your home. Get those dead branches removed soon to control the pest population in your yard!

Start Early to Ensure Proper Growth

If you have young trees on your property, you're in a great position to guarantee their health and beauty for years to come. Correctly pruning young trees will help give them the proper structure they need to grow strong. An unpruned tree is allowed to grow however it comes easiest to grow, and that often ends up weakening the tree. Give your young trees the guidance and maintenance they need to mature in a healthy direction.

Open Up a Dense Tree Canopy for Improved Tree Health and Appearance

When a tree canopy grows too dense, the tree gets weakened limbs and doesn't grow as well as it should. Proper tree trimming will open up the tree canopy and give it a boost in health and appearance. Why? With less branches and leaves in the way, more sunlight can shine down into the tree. Trees need sunlight to grow well. Also, more air can circulate within the canopy, which is also a healthy thing for trees. If you are hesitant to take off branches of your tree, consider this fact: pruning a plant actually encourages the plant to grow more! Trust the experts to understand the right time to prune your trees can grow large and healthy.

Plus, our tree trimmers at Pleasant Landscapes will try to improve the appearance of your tree, giving it a nice shape so your landscape will look lovely during all seasons. We enjoy working on the beautiful trees of Mt. Pleasant and the surrounding areas, which include Charleston, Sullivan's Island, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, and North Charleston.

Looking for Something a Little Out of the Ordinary?

Our tree team can trim your shrubs or small trees into specific shapes, creating unique focal points in your landscape. Even if you don't want a fancy spiral shape, you might desire a certain tree to be a certain size so it looks proportional in your landscape. We can handle that too. Like we said, tree pruning is a science and an art, which means our professional tree trimmers have the skills and the eye for detail that they need to do it right.

Learn the Pruning Vocabulary

If you talk to one of our tree experts, you might hear them say these words. Here's a brief explanation so you can follow along:

Thinning. We thin plants to encourage new growth and get rid of problematic parts of the tree.
Raising. We raise trees by removing the lower branches. This is done to increase clearance under the tree.
Reducing. Reducing, or reduction, makes the tree smaller. We often do this to control the form of the tree, but sometimes we do it to make way for power lines.
Cleaning. We're not scrubbing leaves when we clean! We're getting rid of the dead, diseased, and weak branches.
