Pine Tree Pruning

What This Service Involves

Pines have a different growth habit than deciduous trees and require conifer-appropriate techniques. We remove deadwood and damaged limbs, raise or thin the canopy for clearance and light, and clear hazards, while respecting that pines do not resprout from old wood – so cuts are made thoughtfully. For shaping, we can candle-prune new growth to control density. Proper pine pruning improves safety and appearance while keeping the tree healthy and true to its natural form.
