Skilled Tree Pruning for Healthier, Longer-Living Trees
Proper tree trimming requires understanding tree biology, recognizing appropriate cutting locations, using correct pruning techniques for different tree types and purposes, and making cuts that promote healing rather than creating entry points for disease and pests. We assess trees to identify dead, diseased, crossing, or structurally weak branches requiring removal while determining appropriate pruning extent based on tree species, age, and health. In Memphis, Brigman Home Services, LLC makes cuts at proper angles and locations just outside branch collars, removes weight systematically to prevent tearing, and avoids removing excessive foliage that stresses trees. Our pruning promotes strong branch structure, improves air circulation through canopies, maintains natural tree forms, and removes hazards without compromising tree health or appearance.
