Word of Mouth Tree Service's arborists can determine the type of pruning necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance, and safety of trees. Pruning techniques include removing limbs that:​​​​

​

- interfere with utilities or structures

​

- obstruct streets or sidewalks

​

- are dead, weak, or decayed and pose unacceptable risk

​

- are diseased or insect-infected

​

- have been damaged by storms

​

- will increase light penetration and reduce wind resistance within the canopy upon removal (thinning)

​

Other pruning techniques are used to maintain proper structure in young trees, improve tree shape or form, and reduce the likelihood of future damage during storm events.
