Tree Pruning

Tree pruning offers a slew of benefits to your trees and your yard, and Eastside Tree Works uses our skill and knowledge to keep your trees healthy in King, Snohomish, Pierce and Kitsap counties.

You always want your yard to look nice, and tree pruning is one way to help achieve that goal. It can keep your tree from looking too overgrown or wild, and it can also help promote safety. It is often necessary to prune trees that are under phone and power lines to ensure clearance. Trees and shrubs around homes and other buildings should also be pruned on a regular basis for fire-safety reasons.

Believe it or not, a good tree pruning schedule can also help keep your home safe. By keeping your greenery pruned, it can keep the side of your house out of the shade; extended shade exposure can increase the risk of mold, rot and mildew. No one wants that in their home! In addition, by removing limbs from roof lines, you can help prevent roof and gutter damage.

But aside from cosmetic and safety reasons, tree pruning is important to maintain the health of your trees. If you thin out a tree’s branches, for example, it can allow air to flow through the tree better during a storm. This is important because it can help prevent damage to the tree, such as falling over and even causing property damage.

As certified arborists with the International Society of Arboriculture, we are well versed in the best tree pruning methods. We make sure trees are pruned relative to weight distribution; we remove any branches that may be diseased; we take care to ensure that the tree is symmetrical and the overall canopy shape is aesthetically pleasing; and limited canopy reduction in each pruning session allows stabilization and new growth. Making sure your tree grows evenly ensures that it will have a strong and healthy structure.

Tree pruning requires different approaches based on different trees, because they all grow in unique ways. Did you know some trees will actually do better when up to 40 percent of their volume has been removed? But then there are other trees that need to be pruned over a long span of times to avoid shocking the tree, which can actually lead to its death. It is important to know the bets methods to use on your trees, and that is where our expertise comes in.

It is also crucial to know the best times for tree pruning, which are usually in the late winter and early spring. During this time, trees are dormant but getting ready to start producing new growth. In order to stimulate their recovery after pruned, we make sure the trees are fertilized afterward.
