Tailored Pruning Techniques

When Does Your Tree Need Pruning?

At Ruby Tree Care, we employ a variety of pruning techniques tailored to each tree’s unique needs. Our approach follows the ANSI A300 standards, ensuring the health and longevity of your trees.

Our expert pruning process includes:

  • Removing no more than 25-30% of the tree’s foliage
  • Prioritizing dead, damaged, diseased, and dangerous branches
  • Thinning the canopy to improve wind resistance
  • Reducing weight on heavy limbs to prevent branch failure
  • Shaping for both safety and aesthetics

By focusing on these key areas, we enhance your tree’s structure, promote healthy growth, and create a safer, more beautiful landscape. Our certified arborists assess each tree individually, applying the most appropriate pruning technique for optimal results.

PROPER PRUNING PRACTICES

Crown Cleaning vs. Tree Topping

Crown Cleaning

This beneficial technique involves selectively removing unhealthy and unnecessary branches, including:

  • Dead, damaged, or diseased limbs
  • Dangerous or weakly attached branches
  • Suckers and downward-growing shoots
  • Rubbing or crossing branches

Crown cleaning improves tree structure, enhances appearance, and reduces potential hazards.

Avoid Tree Topping

We strongly discourage tree topping, a harmful practice that’s illegal in most municipalities. Tree topping:

  • Stresses trees, causing rapid, weak regrowth
  • Creates hazardous, heavy limbs
  • Often results in multiple, unstable tree tops

Instead, we offer safe, legal alternatives tailored to your needs. Our arborists can recommend proper pruning techniques that achieve your goals while maintaining tree health and safety.
