Tree Pruning

Tree pruning provides myriad ways to keep your trees and yard healthy. Complete Landcare in the Tampa Bay area brings two decades of skill and knowledge to you so that you can have a safe and healthy yard.


Everyone wants their yard to look nice, and one way to bring that about is tree pruning. You never want your trees to look wild or overgrown, and that is where tree pruning can come in. But it is more than just about cosmetics: It can also help promote safety. If you have trees that are under phone or power lines, you want to have them pruned so that you’re sure there is clearance. And for fire-safety reasons, any trees and shrubs that are near homes or buildings should be pruned on a consistent basis.


Not only that, but did you know that tree pruning can also help keep your home safe? When your house is in the shade from trees and shrubs, mold, mildew and rot can grow. You certainly don’t want that in your home. But if your greenery is pruned, it will allow sunlight to come through, thus keeping your house out of the shade. Plus, you can help prevent gutter and roof damage by taking limbs from roof lines.


But the health of your trees also benefits from a good tree pruning. Air can flow better through a tree during a storm, for example, if the tree’s branches have been thinned out. Why is this important? Because it can help prevent the tree from becoming damaged, such as falling over and possibly causing damage to your home or your neighbor’s property.


With our experience dating to 1990, we know the best methods of tree pruning. They need to be pruned relative to their weight distribution. Plus, we ensure that the tree is symmetrical and that the overall canopy shape looks nice. Limited canopy reduction during each pruning session fosters new growth and allows the tree to be more stable. If your tree grows evenly, it has a better chance of having a healthy and strong structure.


Depending on what kind of tree you have will determine what kind of tree pruning approach we will take. Some trees need small pruning over a long period of time; this is done so that the tree is not shocked, which can ultimately lead to the death of the tree. But then other trees actually thrive when we remove anywhere up to 40 percent of their volume. Knowing which way to go with your trees is vital to your trees’ health and survival. We have that expertise and pledge to make your trees stay strong, beautiful and healthy.


Trees are dormant but preparing to start new growth during the late winter and early spring. Because of this, this is the best time of year for tree pruning. We also take care to fertilize the trees after they are pruned to stimulate their recovery.
