The Importance of Pruning Your Trees

The Importance of Pruning Your Trees

When was the last time your tree was pruned professionally? Are you actually aware of the importance of pruning your trees?

Well, Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd are here to tell you just why you need your trees pruning today! Working in the industry for many years, our team are specialists when it comes to carefully pruning a whole range of trees, including yours in Manchester and Stockport.

The Purpose of Trees

Before we look at how to properly prune your trees, it will make sense to look at how a tree actually works. By appreciating the sheer growth of a tree and understanding how it works from inside out, it will make the pruning process much easier and also give you a better understanding as to how important pruning is.

Your trees are living organisms with a dynamic self-supporting body or stem. Following the photosynthesis process, all trees and living plants convert the carbon into sugars and then use this sugar to build cellulose and lignin to contain within its support. If the sugars created are not used immediately, they are then stored in the roots and branches for later use so nothing goes to waste – quite clever actually!

So, Why Prune?

There are so many reasons why you should prune your trees and it isn’t just to make it look better. The top reasons we encourage tree pruning professionally is to contain the structure of the tree, to remove diseased branches, to reduce shading below and to also remove branches that could be touching surrounding structures like your home or business premises.

When it comes to pruning though, it pays to remember that you can’t just take off branches all over the tree without leaving behind some kind of damage or destroying the integrity of the tree. The team here in Manchester take great care in removing branches and twigs specifically to avoid disease entering the tree via an open wound and to avoid reducing the life of the tree by taking away too much foliage.

Careful Planning Before Pruning

Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd in Manchester and Stockport take great care in planning all tree pruning procedures and only ever remove branches for the health and benefit of the tree. We always ask ourselves three vital questions before removing any part of a tree which includes:

  1. Why are we removing this branch?
  2. What are the results of removing this branch?
  3. Will the tree be at high risk of catching a disease?

In most cases, the branches cannot be removed from ground level and it takes specialist equipment like we have here to safely remove each branch individually. We carry out full health and safety inspections before all services and remove any access near and around the tree from our clients and the general public.

We also take into account how well certain tree species react to pruning. In the case of a Walnut tree, they can sometimes take to pruning poorly so careful planning needs to go into the pruning process to avoid further damage.

The Pruning Process

No matter what size the tree is whether we are looking at a small garden shrub or a large oak, the process is the same from start to finish. Starting by protecting the stem, trunk and roots of the tree, we make sure that all cuts are taken from the stem at the base of the branch to avoid damage and unsightly finishes.

The best time to prune your trees, in our opinion and others, is at the start of Autumn and Winter. We follow this schedule of pruning because it will minimise sap loss from the trees and the winter time is also better for avoiding diseases. Being part of the environment we also like to wait until all the living organisms in the tree are well in hibernation before disrupting their homes for pruning. Some of the trees that need pruning in Winter include Apple trees, Mulberry trees, Poplar, Walnut, Holly and Spruce to name a few.

All dead branches can be removed throughout the whole year. We also wait until the leaves are hardened in the late Spring to avoid premature pruning.

When removing branches, our team will make various cuts in the branch in order to remove it safely. Starting with a shallow cut under the branch, then on the outside, on the top and so forth to avoid the branch tearing or splitting down the centre. By always taking the cut as close to the bark and trunk as possible without damaging the tree further, we take pruning very seriously for our clients.

Trees that need pruning in the summer and spring include Beech, Cherry, Magnolia, Sycamore, Oaks and Willows.

Using the latest equipment and highly skilled tree surgeons on every service, there is nothing that our team can’t do to make sure that when you roll out the sun bed, you can bask in the summer heat with ease.

Get your trees looking the way you want them with quick and simple tree surgery skills from Arboricultural Services Treework Ltd in Manchester and Stockport.

Complete Tree Removal

As well as tree care, we can completely remove trees that are in the way of the light and those that are dangerously growing. In a matter of time a tree that was one a tiny inconvenience can completely take over your garden area and be harder to deal with, so act quickly and remove those trees that are no longer part of your landscape.

Tree felling with our team is often carried out when trees are diseased, overgrown and no longer wanted in the location. Throughout the whole of Manchester and Stockport, we are asked to remove trees from the root upwards and take the stump with us and it is something our team are highly skilled in doing.

We can also carry out sectional dismantling services that can remove certain sections of your tree, particularly the ones blocking the sunrise and sunset. With The Guardian recently reporting on ‘How private is your back garden?’, it is clear that privacy is such a massive topic with the British and sometimes needing more trees is the answer.

Do You Need More Privacy to Sunbathe?

As well as those homeowners with unruly trees, we are regularly asked to plant new trees to give people more privacy while they sunbathe at home too. With a little TLC and attention to specific species, we can plant the best trees for your location and give you the extra privacy you need without letting them overgrow.

Tree maintenance and hedge maintenance is our speciality and we can return as many times a year you would want to keep on top of their growth, especially in the summer. With most trees growing their most throughout the warmer months, it is so important to keep on top of coppicing and trimming to keep your tree healthy and suitable within their allocated space.

UK Holidays Vs. Abroad Holidays

It is common knowledge that with the rising price of abroad holidays and lowered wages, more and more people are staying at home in the UK and are enjoying the summer holidays here rather than in hotter countries. With that, comes an increased need for privacy in our own back gardens with Blackpool, Brighton and Bournemouth being at the top of the list for UK summer hot spots.
