Difference Between Tree Pruning And Trimming
Do you love trees? So do we.
Tree Pruning is associated with removing dead and sick branches. During the pruning process, the dead, broken, and diseased branches of the tree are removed. This helps in preventing the decaying fungi from attacking the tree and spreading throughout the tree. Sometimes pruning is also done to improve the exposure to sunlight and the airflow around the tree.
Tree Trimming Tree Trimming is usually done to promote the health of trees. It is also done to make trees and property look more attractive. During this process, the green shoots are removed, which helps in new growth. Trimming is mostly done to improve the view or to provide clearance.
The equipment used for each process is different for each tree. It is important that you contact our certified arborist so they can come and access if your tree needs pruning or trimming will be enough.

Crown Thinning
Crown thinning is done when the tree has outgrown and its crown gets dense. It makes it difficult for the sunlight to reach the lower limbs and it causes a burden on the roots of the tree as well. So some of the unnecessary limbs and branches are removed, making the tree look and feel lighter. This also promotes its overall health.
Dead Wooding
The method of dead wooding is related to removing the dead, sick, and dying branches of the tree. This is usually performed on trees suffering from any disease or pests. Because the dead branches act as a magnet to illness and pests. Elimination of the dead branches will make them healthier and reduce the risk of falling branches.
Canopy Raise
In the canopy raise, lower limbs and branches are removed. This is usually done to increase the height of the canopy from the ground. Especially if the tree is located in a car parking or right beside the road, then it might be blocking the road sign or branches hanging on the cars. So the lower body of the tree is reduced to facilitate people.
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is associated with reducing the overall size of the canopy by cutting the smaller branches all around the outside of the tree. Reducing the branches as much as possible. This is usually performed on a tree that is located in a small space. Another reason for it can be to maintain the beauty of the landscape.
Root Pruning
There are times when the roots of the trees start growing into the sidewalks and foundations of an infrastructure. They become a risk to the people and property. So by pruning, unwanted roots are removed. A professional like one at Sox and Freeman can easily decide which root should be cut down and which not. Because eliminating the wrong root can damage the tree.
Shaping
This type of pruning is not necessary for a tree but is usually done for a matter of taste. At times, the property owners like light trees or loved the previous shape of the tree before it outgrew. Then this process is performed and the branches that are extending far away from the canopy are reduced. And the original shape of the tree is maintained.
Clearance Pruning
Clearance pruning is performed to reduce the foliage from buildings, road signs, power lines, or anything else where the overgrowth of the tree is causing any inconvenience. Whether it’s blocking the view of an important road sign or growing around the power lines causing the threat of falling on them. The branches are cut down to the required size and shape.
Restoration Pruning
This is usually performed on trees to improve the health and structure after the damage caused by the storm. It is also performed if the tree was poorly pruned by an unprofessional before affecting the growth of the tree. Restoration pruning will enhance trees’ well-being.

You can trust our professionals for all your trimming and pruning needs. Our experts create a plan that is most suitable for you and your tree’s well-being.
Increase Sunlight Penetration and Airflow
Dense trees near buildings and infrastructure make it difficult for the wind to flow around it. But by trimming the air can flow freely. It is essential that the optimum amount of air and sunlight should reach every part of the tree. When the crown of the tree gets dense, it makes it difficult for sunlight to reach the lower limbs and branches. But with pruning, all the branches will be able to receive sunlight.
Protect Your Tree’s Health
Trimming and pruning your trees on a regular basis can help improve the health of trees and prevent several problems from occurring. Trimming improves the overall health of the tree and promotes new growth. And pruning can improve your tree’s well-being by eliminating the dead branches. This will also help in protecting your tree from pests and diseases. As a healthier tree is more immune to diseases.
Enhance Aesthetics
A well-maintained tree would look more beautiful than a messy one. Pruning can help in improving the curb appeal of your trees. This will not only positively affect the beauty of your property, but will also increase the actual resale value. Especially if you are planning to sell the property in the near future, then it is a great time to get those trees pruned.
Protection From Storm Damage
Pruning can help in protecting your trees against the storm. During a storm, there are more chances of weak and dying branches will fall. They may fall and cause damage to people or your property. To eliminate this threat, it is beneficial to prune those weak branches on time.
Lower The Risk of Injury
Trees that are located near sidewalks, or pathways pose a safety risk for people. Heavy or dying branches on those trees may fall down anytime, causing injury to anyone. To eliminate that threat, it is beneficial to prune those heavy branches and make them lighter and get rid of dying branches.
Improve Tree’s Structure
Pruning on a regular basis will result in a healthy-looking tree. It will prevent the tree from growing in the wrong direction and being prone to developing weak branches. While growing in a dense crown, the limbs have to compete for space, but on-time trimming allows them to have more space to grow.
Provide Clearance
Pruning, when specially done for clearing the view, can be very beneficial for your property and you. If a tree is located in front of a property and has become dense, it makes it difficult to see the house. Then it is the right time to prune your tree. It will not only clear the view but will help sunlight in reaching the building and will increase the value of the property.
Protect Tree’s Roots
Excess weight on top of the tree can burden the root system. Especially if the roots are weak or sick. More burden on top means more nutrition demand for the roots, but the weak roots are unable to fulfill them and they have to work harder. This can result in the failure of the tree. But trimming can help reduce the weight on top and burden on roots.
Tree Care Equipment
We have just the right tools for that job!
Tree care needs special equipment for successful and efficient execution. There are times when the tree is in a hard-to-reach location or the pruning needs to be done from an inconvenient angle. Then our state-of-the-art equipment helps us perform our job well. Spider Lift is one of our most used pieces of equipment for trimming as it helps in reaching the difficult parts of the tree. For close pruning, we usually use the top handle chainsaw, as it is lightweight and easier to operate.
We also use a powered long-handled trimmer for trimming, as it is more convenient to use. Some other tools, like blowers and chippers, help us clean up the location after the work is done.
