Trained professionals with Dallas
Tree Surgeons
understand how each tree species will react to different
types of pruning. Most regular maintenance tree trimming
can be done at any time of the year with a few
exceptions.
|
| Crown Clean-out:
The
pruning
of dead, dying, intersecting, weakly attached branches
and water sprouts from a tree's canopy. Crown clean-out
is the most common of our tree trimming procedures.
Crown Elevation:
Removal
of the lower limbs of a tree in order to provide clearance
for driveways, walkways, and buildings.
Cabling/Bolting:
The installation of high strength cables and/or threaded
rod (bracing) to increase structural integrity in the tree.
Crown Reduction:
Pruning back leaders to lateral branches
to reduce height or width of tree. This is done as a last resort to prevent
complete removal of the tree.

| When pruning trees, these are the only cuts that
should be made:
|
| •
Removing
branches that cross and rub against each other
|
| •
Removing
dead or weak branches that may be hazardous or may lead
to decay |
| •
Removing
diseased or insect infested limbs |
| •
Removing
limbs damaged by storm conditions, tornadoes and
lightning |
| •
Removing
limbs that interfere with wires or buildings |
| •
Training
young trees for correct
future growth |
| •
Eliminating
excessive weight on trees tips |
| *No branch
should be removed without a reason. |
