Pruning Before and After
Aesthetic Pruning
A look around Charleston and Mount Pleasant will allow you to easily see the benefits of aesthetic pruning. It is combined with safety and health pruning to provide a groomed live oak tree look that you enjoy.
Pruning Live Oaks for Health
Live oak tree health is encouraged by pruning. It helps encourage a strong tree that resists the effects of strong winds. Existing wounds heal better when broken or damaged branches are removed. Thinning the live oak tree crown lessens pest problems. Removing insect infested or diseased growth is always a sound pruning decision.
Pruning for Safety
Live oak tree branches that grow into utility lines or that pose the risk of falling on property or people should be removed. Sometimes limbs and branches are removed to enable better security by allowing better visibility of entry drives and streets.
