Professional Tree Pruning Services

Tailored Approach to Professional Tree Pruning

The long-term maintenance of your landscape’s overall health depends on the technical expertise of a professional tree pruner. Here at Precision Tree Services Fall River, we take tree pruning as a way to provide for the biological needs of your trees, rather than just aesthetic appeal. By strategically cutting back selected branches, we increase both air movement and sunlight into the canopy of your trees. Both air circulation and sunlight penetration are crucial to helping prevent fungal disease and insect infestation from occurring due to the environmental conditions prevalent in Massachusetts. With a certified process, we ensure that all cuts will be directed toward promoting vigorous new growth and prolonging the life of your trees.

Safety is one of the major drivers behind many of our pruning projects within the Fall River area. As trees age, they often grow to include included bark (the inclusion of living tissue into itself), co-dominant stems, and deadwood, which create a serious hazard to your home, vehicles, and power lines. We utilize careful crown thinning and deadwooding to lighten the weight of large limbs and help to mitigate the “sail effect” caused by high winds during nor’easters. The proactive care provided through this process helps identify and rectify structural defects before the loss of a limb; thus giving you peace of mind while protecting those below the canopy.

Pruning is an investment in both the future beauty and value of your property. Our crew uses the latest techniques in climbing and rigging to access the upper reaches of the canopy of your trees without damaging the surrounding landscape. Whether it is developmental pruning of young trees to establish a strong central leader or restorative pruning of mature trees, we maintain the highest level of industry standards. With Precision Tree Services Fall River, you receive a comprehensive service that includes a thorough assessment to leave your trees balanced, healthy, and perfectly suited to the local environment.

Improving the Aesthetics of Your Property with Shrub Pruning.

The beauty of your home’s surroundings starts with the beauty of your landscaping. A landscape, if properly maintained, is the framing for your home. The best way to visually enhance that framing is through professional shrub pruning. We recognize that shrubs provide structure to your property’s design. Our pruning services help refine the natural beauty of your plants and ensure they fit into the architectural framework of your landscape.

Symmetry and Shape: When pruning professionally, you can shape your shrubs so they grow in an aesthetically pleasing manner that is proportionate to the rest of your yard. Through the removal of all unmanageable and erratically branching limbs, we can create a clean and purposeful look that increases your yard’s curb appeal.

Bloom Development: For flowering shrubs, timing and technique are crucial when attempting to produce blooms. As we remove spent flowers and old wood, we will stimulate the development of new buds, thus creating a more abundant and vibrant bloom display throughout the growing season.

Scale and Distance: Unchecked shrubs can quickly obstruct windows, close walkways, or obscure some of the beautiful attributes of your home. We prune our shrubs to maintain a proper scale that will allow your shrubs to highlight your home’s features instead of hiding them.

Density: Strategically thinning and making heading cuts encourages “back budding” that fills in the sparse or leggy areas of your plant. Thus, providing a lush, full density to your shrubs that provides greater privacy and a richer, luxurious look.

Health-Driven Visual Enhancement: The immediate visual enhancement provided by the removal of the yellowed, diseased, or dead foliage will instantly improve the look of your shrubs. More importantly, this action prevents the spreading of disease, thereby enabling you to keep your shrubs as a beautiful element of your landscape for many years to come.

Fall River Shrub Pruning Calendar

Pruning at the right time is essential for maintaining a thriving, beautiful landscape. Based on the local Massachusetts growing season, we’ve outlined the best times for pruning specific types of shrubs.

Late Winter (February–March): Late winter is an excellent time to prune those shrubs that bloom in the summer, like hydrangea, spiraea, and Rose of Sharon. The reason for this is that by pruning while the shrub is still dormant, it will put all of its energy into producing a robust amount of new growth and a bounty of blooms as soon as the temperatures warm up.

Early Spring (April–May): Now is the perfect time to shape and prune your evergreen shrubs like boxwood, yew, and juniper. However, we delay pruning until the harsh frosts are over so we do not damage the fresh-cut ends.

Late Spring (May–June): This is the best time to prune your spring-blooming shrubs like lilac, forsythia, rhododendron, and azalea. Prune them after they finish blooming. If you prune them too early or too late, you may inadvertently remove the flower buds for the next year’s show.

Mid-Summer (July–August): These months are when “aesthetic maintenance” occurs for formal hedges and fast-growing shrubs like privet or burning bush. During these months, we perform a little bit of light pruning to keep the edges nice and clean and to correct any wayward branches that have grown out of bounds.

Autumn: In Fall River, we generally discourage extensive pruning during the autumn months. In fact, if you prune now, you will encourage new growth, and that new growth will have insufficient time to harden off before the first fall freeze, resulting in considerable loss of foliage through the winter.

Reclaim Your Space with Tree Pruning

Trees that have been allowed to grow wild or are misshapen may detract from the aesthetic appeal of your home and also be hazardous. Our tree pruning service will help you in many ways by reducing the size of your trees and providing them with a well-balanced structure, as well as improving the appearance of your yard.

If branches are not pruned, they may obstruct sunlight, impede pathways, or create weakened areas that can cause a tree to be damaged during a storm. Each tree is pruned with great care and precision by our experienced arborist staff to encourage the best possible growth and maintain a strong structure that can support itself throughout its lifetime.

With Precision Tree Service Fall River, you will receive dependable pruning and trimming of all of your trees and shrubbery. We will take care of the health, aesthetics, and safety of your plants by treating them professionally and thoughtfully.
