Tree Pruning: Enhance the Health and Beauty of Your Trees
If you're looking to improve the amenity value of your trees or keep them safe and tidy, tree pruning is essential. From formative pruning to crown lifting, thinning, and even fruit tree care, each technique offers unique benefits that can transform your landscape. At Arb Innovations, we provide expert pruning services tailored to your specific needs.
Formative Pruning: Shape Your Trees for the Future
Formative pruning is designed to enhance both the appearance and structural integrity of your trees. It involves two key aspects:
Aesthetic Pruning
This approach focuses on giving your tree the best natural form, improving its visual appeal. It’s like sculpting a masterpiece—by carefully selecting which branches to trim, we can create a tree that looks beautiful and balanced in your landscape.
Structural Pruning
Structural pruning ensures that your tree is strong and well-formed. By guiding its growth early on, we help the tree develop a framework that will support it throughout its life, reducing the risk of future problems such as broken branches or instability.
Crown Lifting: Let the Light In
One effective way to allow more light into your property and improve your views is through crown lifting. This involves removing some of the lower branches of a tree, effectively lifting its canopy. But different species of trees require different techniques to ensure their long-term health and beauty.
Selective Removal for Optimal Results
At Arb Innovations, we don't believe in removing all lower branches indiscriminately. Instead, we take a tailored approach, selecting branches that can be safely removed while preserving the tree’s structure and natural form. This method ensures the health and longevity of the tree.
Crown Reduction: Skillfully Reducing Tree Size
Reducing the overall size of a tree while maintaining its natural shape is no easy feat. Crown reduction requires an experienced hand to ensure that the tree retains its balance and aesthetics. At Arb Innovations, we use professional techniques to safely reduce the canopy volume while preserving the tree's natural appearance.
Why Topping is No Longer Recommended
The practice of tree topping is no longer recognized in the arboricultural industry due to the damage it can cause. Instead, we recommend crown reduction, which involves removing no more than 30% of the canopy volume at one time.
Crown Thinning: Letting in Natural Filtered Light
If you want to let more light through your trees without reducing their size, crown thinning is the answer. This process involves selectively removing branches in the upper canopy to allow sunlight to filter through naturally, brightening up your property.
A Balanced Approach
Just like with crown reduction, we recommend removing no more than 30% of the canopy volume to maintain the tree’s health and structure. With careful thinning, your tree will continue to thrive while letting in more light.
Fruit Tree Pruning: Enhance Your Yield or Aesthetic
Whether you want to boost your fruit production or simply improve the appearance of your fruit trees, we’ve got you covered. At Arb Innovations, we tailor our fruit tree pruning services to your goals. Need more fruit? We'll prune for yield. Looking for a visually stunning tree? We'll prune for beauty.

FAQs
How often should trees be pruned?
The frequency of pruning depends on the type of tree and its growth rate. Typically, trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, but fast-growing species or trees near structures may need more frequent attention. Reach out to us to get personalized advice for your trees.
