TREE TRIMMING & PRUNING - PROFESSIONAL TREE MAINTENANCE & CARE

Tree Trimming Ocala, FL

 Regular trimming and tree pruning promote healthy growth and maintain a tree's shape, providing a more enjoyable aesthetic landscaping addition to your yard. For the most part, other than for younger and smaller trees, trimming should be performed by a licensed and insured arborist. The reason is, as trees mature, the complexity is increased as is the risk of accident. At Ocala Tree Service, we have the experience of expertly trimming your trees safely and beautifully.  

Tree trimming services should always be started from the top down. It is because of this that most property owners are ill-equipped and inexperienced to take on larger, more mature trees.   The optimum approach to trimming is to adopt the TCIA and ISA guidelines of one-thrid and one-fourth:

• Only cut 1/4 or less of the crown of the tree year;
• Keep the side branches to 1/3 the circumference of the main trunk, or if a multi-trunked tree, the circumference of each trunk;
• Cut less than 1/3 the height of the tree, but never top a tree - this will permanently stunt growth and forever make the tree unnatural
• Cut side limbs to 1/3 sections of the tree's trunk

In trimming trees yourself, when they are young and manageable for the average property owner, consider the following guidance;

• Preserve the strongest most vibrant limbs when trimming - trim around these better limbs to promote their continued growth;
• Make smaller cuts vs bigger ones. If you trim a tree regularly bigger cuts will be unnecessary. However, if one or more larger cuts are necessary, then space these cuts out over several trimming seasons;
• Never use dull trimmers or saws.  Rough and torn cuts expose trees to insects and disease;
• Utilize a pole pruning saw or trimmer.  This device is great for reaching higher limbs and also keeps you safely on the ground; and,
• Always cut limbs maintaining the collar - never cut right up against the trunk.  This will invite insects and diseases.

If you have a larger tree, where the branch will fall before it is cleanly cut, it is always best to call a professional. They have the tree trimming tools and experience to deal with larger limbs at heights and can easily and safely lower them without risk of damage to the tree and/or life.
