Our Approach
Alba Tree Services are focused on solutions; before coming up with an action plan to prune trees we take in to account factors such as: species, location, maturity and customer requirements. There are many ways in which trees can be pruned to meet the needs of the owners...
Crown Thinning
Need more light in your garden? Are branches drooping too low and interfering with daily life?
Perhaps your trees could benefit from crown thinning or lifting.
Thinning the crown involves the removal of up to approximately 20% of the branches throughout the entire canopy, without changing the shape or proportions of the trees crown. This allows increased light levels to filter through the tree.
Deadwood and Crown Cleaning
Are the trees on your property looking untidy, cluttered or full of debris?
Crown cleaning a tree safely removes any defects, such as weak branches, hung up branches or broken limbs. We highly recommend that you have your trees "crown cleaned" if there are in area of high usage below the canopy i.e: parks, schools, thoroughfares, play areas etc... Crown cleaning can also allow a better inspection of the structural integrity of the tree.
Crown Pruning
Where trees have the room to mature and reach their full potential there is rarely a need for pruning and shaping, but in the urban environment maintaining trees at a reasonable size for their location can be essential.
Crown pruning may consist of light tip pruning and shaping to maintain the current size or improve the balance and aesthetics of your tree. It can also include heavier crown reduction works to restore a canopy that has out grown its location or reduce the weight from over extended limbs.
Formative Pruning
Formative pruning is most often completed at the establishment stage of tree development. The main objective of this type of pruning is to encourage the formation of good stem and branch structure, Well planned, formative pruning of a young tree can prolong its life expectancy. This type of pruning can reduce the need for major works when the tree is older.
