Pruning
See some common pruning services offered by Lighthouse Trees below:
Building clearance
Let’s lightly pull it back from the house, the shed or the carport
Hazard Reduction
Reducing tree risk by selective branch reduction/removal
Storm Remediation
Putting a tree back together following storm damage
Formative Pruning
Pruning trees while they are young to avoid future issues
Conciliatory Pruning
Sometimes a little goes a long way to easing neighbourly tension. Don’t let their arborist do it!
Letting the light in
Selective crown reduction to increase natural light
Low-Intervention
Pruning
Lighthouse Trees understand that:
- Every leaf is a little solar panel, and that
- Deadwood provides food and homes to wildlife
And that therefore pruning should be considered and minimal in its application.
Excessive pruning can cause premature tree decline and increase the likelihood of branch failure through changes to tree health and structure. Sterilising trees by removing deadwood reduces the biodiversity of the local environment.
Whilst trees will often tolerate some pruning, unneccessary pruning is a waste of time and money and creates avoidable greenhouse emissions.
