SPECIALIST PRUNING

ARTISTREE believes that correct and timely pruning is one of the most important tree care practices. During the lifecycle of plants, there are numerous important pruning techniques that need to be employed in order to maximise their health, structural integrity and true form. Formative pruning begins in the early stages of a plants life. Routine pruning addresses dead, diseased and crossing branches throughout a tree’s life cycle. Correct pruning techniques can enhance tree health, flowers and fruit. This is not an easy task and requires training and experience to achieve the best possible results for your landscape. The following list explains the diversity of pruning expertise required.

Large Elm weight reduction prune in Malvern East. We achieve the results we do by going that extra little bit for our clients.

CANOPY THINNING

This Waterhousia is a high value tree in a courtyard. Canopy thinning and height reduction was needed to allow more light into garden below.

POLLARDING
