Tree Trimming Abbotsford, BC

Tree Trimming Services

Trees are attractive and functional and add to the beauty and pleasure of our homes and communities. You can trim trees for various reasons, including aesthetics, health, and safety. 

Trimming and pruning trees can significantly improve their appearance and shape; however, you must prune them correctly; removing too much can cause catastrophic damage. Broken and dead branches might fall anytime if unhealthy, threatening life or property. 

We'll adequately trim and prune your trees, so they have enough room to grow healthy and strong.

You may need to have your trees trimmed or pruned to:

• Reduce the risk of failure from dead or weak branches
• Manage the health of the trees
• Manage fruit production
• Improve the aesthetics of the trees
• Provide clearance from buildings or power lines
• Improve the structure of the trees

Trees are an investment. Suppose you need clarification about your tree's pruning needs. In that case, our qualified professional arborists can manage and diagnose all elements of tree care. We know how to prune and trim your trees effectively.

Hemlock Trees

Hemlock trees are easily spotted because the very tip of the tree tends to droop over to one side. They only require a little routine maintenance in most cases. Still, they may need their branches occasionally pruned because of disease or damage caused by weather.

The best time to trim or prune hemlock trees is in late autumn/early winter or late winter/early spring.

Cedar Trees

Cedar trees can reach great heights and are particularly common in this part of the country. They are one of the less complicated trees to work with because their wood is light and easier to manage.

The best time to trim or prune cedar trees is in late autumn/early winter or late winter/early spring. If you have cedar hedges on your property, you can trim them anytime during the spring, summer, or fall.

Maple Trees

Many types of maple trees around Abbotsford exist, including Queen Elizabeth maple, trident maple, and Douglas maple. They are plentiful in the natural environment and our yards and gardens.

The best time to trim or prune most maple trees is in late spring/early summer when the leaves have reached their full size and turned a dark green in color.

Birch Trees

Birch trees are a great addition to any property with their attractive peeling bark and lush green foliage. You can prune them annually to remove dead or diseased branches and promote healthy growth.

The best time to trim or prune birch trees is in late summer/early autumn. It would be best not to prune them in spring or early summer because they will have a large sap flow after their winter rest.

Honey Locust

You can distinguish honey locust by their fern-like leaves and relatively open, airy branching pattern. They require little pruning other than removing branches that are dying or diseased.

The best time to trim or prune honey locust trees is in late winter/early spring or late autumn/early winter. You can prune a few small branches in the summer once the leaves reach full size.

Oak Trees

Oak trees have a lifespan of up to a thousand years and can grow tall and broad. You can quickly identify them by their acorns and the unique lobes on their leaves.

It would be best not to trim or prune oak trees in summer because they are susceptible to oak wilt. The best time to trim or prune oak trees is throughout the winter, late autumn to early spring.

Cherry Trees

Flowering Cherry trees can be vulnerable to insect and fungal disease infestations. Annual pruning will help keep your tree healthy by thinning out branches and allowing for better light and air circulation.

The best time to trim or prune cherry trees is in late winter/early spring or after all the blossoms have fallen from the tree. However, you can do regular maintenance on cherry trees throughout the year.

Weeping Willow

Weeping willow trees can grow quite large, with draping branches and flowing leaves. They have a high degree of flexibility, enabling them to withstand severe weather conditions and strong winds.

The best time to trim or prune willow trees is in late autumn/early winter or late winter/early spring. They can be pruned as late as March but doing so will significantly slow down the tree's growth for that year.
