Deadwooding Tree Trimming
It is beneficial to deadwood a tree for more reasons than just landscape maintenance. If you don’t treat rotting branches immediately, they can infect the tree’s trunk. Rotted branches also attract pests and invasive insects, which can harm surrounding vegetation. As a final point, storms and high winds often cause dead wood to break off. As a result of our deadwooding services, we can help you protect your home from bad weather.
Shrub Trimming
You can improve both your curb appeal and your plants’ health by trimming shrubs. Overgrown shrubs can gradually grow sickly if left unattended. It is also important to maintain shrubs so that their interior branches can receive sunlight and nutrients.
If you want to maintain a natural shape for your plants, Saanich BC Tree Service can trim them for you. Plants and flowers grow more vigorously and bloom more beautifully when our trimming techniques are used. Pruning and trimming shrubs are most effective during certain seasons. Providing expert care, our arborists are knowledgeable and experienced in handling these nuances.
What Is the Difference Between Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning?
Gardening tools and methods for trimming and pruning vary depending on the time of year. Understanding the appropriate equipment, methods, and seasons to trim and prune is crucial for achieving the best results.
The purpose of pruning is primarily to enhance the aesthetics of a tree and to relieve the stress caused by overgrowth.
- Prune fruit plants and flowers to maintain healthy growth and remove diseased branches. When you prune a tree, it also produces fruit the following year because spurs grow when you prune it.
Reasons You May Need to Trim or Prune Your Trees and Shrubs
Are your trees burdened with dead branches? Maybe pests have infested the trunk, bark, or branches of the tree. On the other hand, are you seeking ways to promote productive fruit blooms or enhance the aesthetics of your landscape? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we offer excellent trimming and pruning services to comprehensively address these concerns.
The Health of the Tree Trimming
Concerning the health of the tree, the weight of dead branches or decay may cause your tree to droop or appear sickly. Pruning the roots can strengthen them and foster healthy new growth. Furthermore, a tree or shrub can be trimmed to remove portions affected by disease, fungi, or pests. Ultimately, regenerating the health of your trees and shrubs involves exposing them to abundant sunlight and facilitating fresh air circulation.
Provide Clearance
Neglected trees with dead branches and excessive growth can present potential risks to nearby infrastructure. Over time, these trees may encroach upon neighboring properties, obstruct roadways and driveways, and even reach over fences and roofs, becoming entangled in power lines. When tree branches come into close proximity with telephone and power lines, the risk of outages and fires escalates significantly. Thankfully, our team of professional arborists is well-equipped to offer safe and effective solutions. We provide ample clearance to prevent any potential damage or inconvenience caused by overgrown trees, ensuring a harmonious environment for both you and your neighbors.

We can also shape your trees and shrubs in a way that encourages spectacular blooms and complements your property nicely. If you live near a lake, mountain range, or enjoy incredible views from your property, we can neatly trim trees to ensure a beautiful panorama.
Proper Development of a Young Tree
Pruning and trimming services play a vital role in elevating the visual allure of your landscape. By eliminating dead and tangled branches, your yard will exude a clean and well-maintained appearance. Additionally, our expert team can skillfully shape your trees and shrubs, encouraging splendid blooms that harmonize perfectly with your property. If your residence is close to a lake, mountain range, or scenic vistas, we can ensure that we neatly trim the trees to frame and accentuate the breathtaking panorama. This will enhance the overall beauty of your surroundings.
Restoration
Promote robust growth and prevent the potential spread of rot by promptly trimming and removing any diseased, injured, dying, infested, or dead branches from your trees. Additionally, acting swiftly to remove compromised segments will facilitate the healthy restoration of your trees and shrubs, ensuring their well-being in a timely manner.
Improve Structure
Trimming and pruning your trees can dramatically strengthen their structure. In addition to trimming and pruning for special effects, we can also cut for decorative purposes.
Our arborists have the formal training to employ various pruning techniques, including:
- Pollarding: By cutting off the crown and branches of a tree, pollarding aims to encourage vigorous top growth.
- Coppicing: This technique involves cutting a tree or shrub at ground level to stimulate strong and dense growth from the base.
- Espalier: The espalier technique involves pruning a fruit tree or ornamental shrub in a way that guides its growth to spread flatly against a latticed wall or support structure.
To achieve structural soundness, one must avoid pruning malpractices such as topping trees. Topping trees will make them weak and more susceptible to pest infestations.
Your Tree Crosses into Your Neighbor's Property
Avoid the hassle of tree encroachment onto neighboring properties by staying attentive to your landscaping. Ensure that your trees don’t cross property lines by enlisting the services of a professional arborist for regular trimming and pruning. By taking this proactive approach, you can prevent any potential disputes with your neighbors. Furthermore, proper maintenance can help mitigate the risk of branches breaking off or trees collapsing during high winds, reducing your liability for any damages that may occur.

Fortunately, we use cranes and bucket trucks in many locations to access tall points. Our experienced crews employ proven techniques to complete complex tasks efficiently and thoroughly.
