Tree trimming and tree pruning

Tree pruner, tree trimmer, Lac-Brome

Pruning and trimming are our most popular tree care services at Emondage Lac-Brome. These two terms are often taken as synonyms, whereas usage has come to differentiate them. Certainly, these two tasks consist of cutting down parts of trees. However, the approach to each of these techniques is not identical. 

Difference between pruning and trimming

Pruning is a technique that, when applied, is concerned with not damaging the health of the tree specimen concerned. Moreover, it is planned over a relatively long period of time. A preparation is established by thinking about the current impacts but also throughout the growth of the tree. The gestures practiced require a careful dexterity where precautions are taken by thinking incessantly about the results. Nothing is done without discernment. We prune in order to offer a better health to our tree. The technician is concerned with the well-being of the tree because he does not want to compromise its development.​

Pruning, on the other hand, is a technique where the goal is the main focus, regardless of the consequences for the tree. Because these goals are more imperative. They require drastic dexterity, without procrastination. It is not a matter of satisfying capricious expectations, it is a matter of needs so important that one must go so far as to sacrifice the health or the life of a plant. Often the safety or integrity of the building is at stake. 

Who hasn't witnessed Hydro-Quebec pruners making drastic cuts to avoid damage to electrical installations? Safety is one of the reasons why such a procedure is acceptable. So, obviously, the appearance of your tree, or its health, can no longer occupy our attention.​

Tree trimming

Pruning is practiced when pruning does not meet the objectives and when it is not essential to cut down a tree. Thus, if necessary, a pruner will cut the top of a specimen, but this gesture is generally to be avoided. Such an operation may be requested by Hydro-Quebec or a municipality, for example, in order to preserve public property. 
  
Sometimes, the heads of a whole row of trees are removed by the drastic action of pruners in order to free up a view that tourists can enjoy. 
  
Sometimes a homeowner will request this as well, because a construction project, private residences or property is at risk due to the presence of a tree. 
  
When branches come too close to or have invaded walkways or other traffic areas such as roads, pruning is also appropriate. 
  
Be aware, however, that pruning puts a tree under severe stress. This stress factor makes it weak and can even cause it to die before its time. This is why it is important to discuss with a certified arborist before deciding anything. With this in mind, you can reach Emondage Lac-Brome at 579-589-5474.

Tree pruning

Pruning, on the other hand, can sometimes serve as a preventive operation to avoid the need for pruning or felling. The technique lends itself wonderfully to prevention, since it involves thinking about future consequences. 
  
The preliminary reflection requires a good knowledge of the trees and the actions to be taken. The arborist will therefore observe the branches in search of those that can be cut. First, the most fragile ones, those that are dead or sick will be removed. Under his skilful gestures, over time, a branchy silhouette is rebalanced, a structure is straightened, a crown takes strength. The trajectory of a tree can even be modified if necessary.  
  
Fewer branches mean a risk of breaking and falling in the future. This is why pruning also prevents injuries or damage to infrastructure. 
  
The objectives of pruning can be to bring more light to the vegetable garden, to promote a healthier development, to strengthen a specimen. Even fruit trees will produce more under such good care. Under the experienced gestures of the arborists, this technique will confer even more majesty to your precious trees.​
