Tree Pruning and Tree Trimming In Santa Rosa CA
When it comes to tree pruning or tree trimming Santa Rosa-based Sam’s Tree Service can help.
But first, it’s important for property owners to understand that tree trimming and tree pruning are different.
While often confused, these practices are done for different reasons.
Proper Tree Trimming and Pruning Practices
According to the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), “Pruning is an often-needed maintenance treatment for good tree health and safety.” On the other hand, tree trimming involves removing excess branches to shape or size the tree or for aesthetic reasons.
Trimming a plant (including trees and shrubs) causes the remaining foliage to grow faster and thicker. Pruning may have this effect as well, but that isn’t the purpose of pruning.
It is designed, for example, to selectively remove diseased, weak or otherwise unwanted branches. This improves the tree’s structure, and directs new, healthy growth.
How We Approach Tree Pruning and Trimming
Sam’s Tree Service follows proper tree-trimming practices to ensure healthy growth and a better appearance.
It’s important to note that, with either tree trimming or pruning, ANSI A300 standards say no more than 25 percent of a tree’s foliage should be removed in a single growing season.
Many service providers and property owners are unaware of this important rule—which often results in damaging the trees with excessive cutting.
Experts say trimming and pruning a tree can be challenging and even dangerous if your service provider does not have the right tools and skills. The process often requires climbing a tree, working with special equipment, and using skills learned in extensive training.
This isn’t something most homeowners or other property owners can safely do. Let’s Sam’s Tree Service handle it for you!
Factors that Influence Tree Trimming and Tree Pruning Cost
Factors that determine the cost of tree trimming and pruning are mostly based on the time the job will take. They include the following:
Tree Type. The cost will be lower if you have a small tree(s) with fewer branches. On the other hand, larger, dense trees will have a broad canopy and require more time, which will cost more.
Tree Size. The tree’s height will greatly impact the cost as the team will need extra equipment if they are extra tall. This means climbing the tree and/or using a truck with a lift bucket.
Number of Trees. This also plays a significant role in tree trimming and pruning costs. Our experts have to assess each tree independently and provide the right solution for each.
Tree Health. For trees that are not healthy, we may need to take extra precautions to test the ground and prune the roots, if required, to avoid spreading damage.
Season. If you plan to trim the trees or prune during the peak season, the charges may be higher, and the waiting time could be longer.
