If you live on a property that is surrounded by trees that are located in hard-to-reach places, then hiring a professional and experienced crane and bucket truck service is the safest and easiest way to take care of any issues.

Over the years, trees may become weakened, diseased, or too large for the area they are in. This can pose a threat to your home, property, and the safety of your family. Here in Massachusetts, we are no stranger to extreme climate changes and weather. This past winter alone has been persistent in bringing snowfall after snowfall. Heavy, wet snow and ice can put a lot of strain on tree limbs. If these limbs are anywhere near your home, it is best to have them removed. If the whole tree is dying and poses a threat, the whole tree should be removed. This is when it is best to hire a professional crane and bucket truck service.

An experienced team of professionals can get the tree removal done swiftly and efficiently. With the use of a crane and bucket truck there is little to no damage done to lawns and flower beds due to no heavy trucks being used on the property. The crane will be used to reach trees that are located in inaccessible locations around your property, whether the tree be located between structures or near utility wires.

Benefits to Tree Pruning

Benefits to Tree Pruning

Many assume that tree pruning is done in order to achieve a desirable shape of a tree or bush. While this can be the case, there are also several other reasons for tree pruning such as:

  • To remove diseased or storm-damaged branches
  • To thin the crown to permit new growth and better air circulation
  • To reduce the height of a tree
  • To remove obstructing lower branches
  • To train the plant
  • For curb appeal
  • For safety reasons. Large, dead trees can pose a serious threat to the safety of your home and family.

In some situations, you could just tackle the pruning yourself. However, there are times when it is advised to hire a professional. If you have a large tree that you want to remove big branches from, especially in the upper area of the crown, it may be best to hire experts. Large tree pruning can require climbing, heavy saws, or even cherry-pickers. This is the type of job that should be left to trained and experienced professionals. You should never compromise personal safety in pruning a tree.

The best time of year for tree pruning is when the tree is dormant in late fall or winter, although dead branches should be removed any time of the year. Pruning during the dormant period minimizes sap loss and subsequent stress to the tree. Also, in the case of deciduous trees, waiting until all of the leaves have dropped will leave you with a better idea of what shape will look best.

It is easy to over-prune a tree which can result in an unhealthy and vulnerable plant, which is another reason to leave the pruning to a professional.
