Trimming

Regular trimming of your trees and hedges will improve the shape and strength of your landscaping. Because of the size of most trees, your average property owner doesn’t want to take on this job themselves. Even the trimming of hedges can be time consuming if it’s a large enough area that needs to be worked on. Plus, there’s the potential to trim something too much so the final result doesn’t look very good. We provide tree and hedge trimming that offers many benefits including:

Improving the Health of Your Trees

A tree or hedge row that is too large and overgrown will not be able to effectively absorb nutrients that are in the ground. If you remove some of the largest branches, the nutrients that are available can be used more efficiently.

Increasing Exposure to Sunlight

The larger a tree is, the more leaves it’s going to have. You need to make sure that all of the leaves are able to receive sunlight in order for the tree to be healthy. If you have an overgrowth of branches, you’re making this process less effective. You can actually increase photosynthesis with a professional Coquitlam tree service.

Checking for Disease and Pests

When trimming is taking place, this is the perfect time for our staff to spot any disease that’s present. We can also check for any pests that may be living in your tree or hedges. If there are any issues, we’ll provide you with a remedy.

Preventing Damage

When a tree is too close to the home or is hanging too close to your roof, this can pose a risk. If winds pick up or a storm comes through, branches could end up falling onto your home or even breaking through a window. Preventive maintenance right now is a lot easier than dealing with a repair later on in the midst of bad weather.

Cost Effective Maintenance

Our tree services Coquitlam are extremely affordable in comparison to other companies that are in the area. We provide you with an upfront estimate of the work, and we’ll provide you with impressive results at an affordable price point. We’ll also be saving you a lot of time, which is something most of our clients are interested in.

Our tree services Coquitlam utilize a few different processes to get the job done right. We know exactly what needs to be trimmed, and we use the following techniques.

Dead Pruning

This is the process of trimming anything that’s dead or diseased. It improves the overall look, but it also is beneficial to the health of your tree or hedges.

Thinning the Crown

Removal of weak branches to open up the top of the canopy allows for air and light to pass through. For large items, this lessens the weight of the large branches up top.

Lifting the Crown

Lower branches can be trimmed back to reduce the size of your tree, but this is something which should be done with caution. Trimming too much can actually cause the tree to look less full or unhealthy.
