We are ISA-certified arborists, which means we are properly qualified to deliver both trimming and pruning services backed by years of education, training, and experience in the field.
We recommend doing your research first before hiring a tree care professional to prune or trim your trees. Pruning, in particular, is easy to get wrong or over-do. Overpruning is a genuine problem, leading sometimes to poor health outcomes or even death for trees. Amateur tree service professionals can prune too much or do so in a way that stunts tree growth, rather than promoting it. This is why we suggest working with a professional, like Castellanos Tree Services, with decades of experience.
Talk with your desired tree service provider to learn more about their experience with trimming and pruning. We are happy to tell you about ours, whether you need assistance with palm trees or sycamores on your property.
Tree Trimming vs. Pruning
Sometimes trimming and pruning are terms that are used interchangeably, but they do technically have different meanings. They refer to separate services that both use similar methods, cutting back branches and foliage from a tree, but have unique goals.
Tree Trimming
In Fresno, tree trimming is often used to improve the appearance of a tree by removing overgrown branches. This can help reduce the size of a tree to help it fit its space better or remove branches that are potential hazards. You might trim back a tree that blocks sunlight or has branches hanging over a sidewalk, for example. The frequency of trimming needed depends on the tree, and this should be determined in collaboration with an arborist.
Tree Pruning
Pruning is a very important, deliberate process intended to improve the health of a tree and encourage its future growth. We recommend tree pruning in Fresno, CA to remove dead or dying branches, improve the structural stability of a tree, and bring more light and air circulation into the crown of the tree. Pruning is best performed by an ISA-certified arborist, like Castellanos Tree Services, as it is easy to get wrong. Usually, we recommend requesting pruning during the dormant season, typically defined as late winter through early spring, to avoid cutting back new growth.
Why Trimming & Pruning Both Matter
As you can see, trimming and pruning in Fresno, CA both have different aims. So, they are each individually critical to the overall care of your trees.
Avoid Emergency Removals
Improve the Look of Your Property
While trimming will have the most immediate aesthetic benefits, pruning also impacts the appearance of your trees. Removing ugly dead branches and encouraging the growth of your trees can make a big difference, especially if you get your trees pruned in the late winter. This ensures bigger and better growth in the spring, as the tree puts its energy back into sprouting in the desired direction.
Increase Safety
Your property will not be as safe if you delay or skip trimming and pruning. Trimming trees removes potential physical damage from hazardous branches, as does pruning. Pruning in particular gets rid of dead branches that may be at risk of falling — you may not see these unless you are able to closely examine your tree.
Trees Will Live Longer
If you are concerned about the longevity of the trees on your property, know that they will live long, healthy lives so long as you seek help from tree service professionals. Trimming and pruning are both part of the necessary ongoing care for many types of trees, which are sure to grow beautifully when you tend to them.
