What is the Difference Between Trimming and Pruning?

While ANSI Arborist standards only recognizes the term "pruning", it has become common for many people and business to use both terms/phrases... tree trimming and tree pruning. A lot of companies use the terms interchangeably, but there is a difference. Pruning is done to remove unnecessary branches on a tree or shrub. Trimming is done to promote healthy growth. Pruning and trimming are typically carried out at different times of the year, using different types of equipment.

Tree Pruning Service

Pruning is typically in reference to removing unnecessary branches and sometimes even roots. The branches may be dead and need to be removed from the tree. Pruning helps with unwanted growth. For pruning, shears are of the tool of choice. They're strong enough to cut through thing branches. For thicker branches, we may use a saw. It's best for the tree if pruning takes place before the spring growth flush. Some diseases, like Oak Wilt, can spread when pruning wounds give access to the disease during the wrong time of the year.

Types of Tree Pruning Techniques

• Cleaning – The removal of dead, dying, diseased, weakly attached, and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree.
• Thinning – Selective branch removal to improve structure and increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Proper thinning opens the foliage, reduces the weight of heavy limbs, and helps retain the tree's shape.
• Raising – Removes the lower branches from a tree to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and vistas.
• Reduction – Reduces the size of a tree, often for utility line clearance.
