Tree Trimming, Pruning, & Shaping

REASONS TO PRUNE are as varied and numerous as there are trees! Pruning/tree trimming is a common maintenance procedure that is often necessary to reduce risk; provide clearance; improve tree structure, health and appearance; and meet clients needs. Silver Leaf Tree Service, is highly knowledgeable in science-based pruning and adheres to the suggested Industry Pruning Standards. Pruning in a timely fashion reduces the chance of your tree being attacked by parasites, disease, fungus and water rot to name a few.

Our team of tree specialists apply science based techniques to all of our pruning jobs -thereby ensuring the structural integrity of the tree, health and appearance. A thorough pruning job will also take into account any street signs or lights that may be obscured by an overreaching tree branch or limb. Also removing compromised limbs, dead wood, defective limbs or branches as well as making selective cuts to promote good structure and overall tree health.

Structural Integrity is a must for any tree to withstand the relentless battering of Florida’s hurricanes, seasonal storms and high winds. Pruning bolsters the tree’s center of gravity making it much less vulnerable to permanent damage as well as enabling the tree to grow upright, strong, and even more beautiful in its appearance. You have many options available to help care for your landscape – canopy weight reduction, thinning for wind penetration, cabling, bracing, guiding or propping as well as lightning protection systems.

Interference with wires, neighboring trees and structures is another important reason to prune. Silver Leaf Tree Service, tree specialists have often noticed neighborhoods where trees are planted too densely resulting in overcrowding, misshapen and prone-to-disease trees. This is especially dangerous as they mature and strive for more room and light.

The results are branches and limbs spreading out and becoming imbalanced, leading to the further risk of getting tangled in nearby power lines, or low branches and heavy limbs overhanging walking pavements possibly endangering passerby’s, children, and dogs when a sudden wind-gusts passes through. These heavy, weakened, and out-of-balance trees and limbs could come crashing down, perhaps through a window or a lanai, causing terrible and significant damage.
