Pruning and Maintenance

The most basic method of tree care is pruning. Ensuring a tree has proper branch structure to withstand wind, snow, and ice loads, is part of what we do at Zen Tree Care. Taking the greatest of care to follow ANSI standards, our ISA certified arborists insist upon excellence in every cut they make. We were once known as "Tree Surgeons", and at Zen Tree Care we still execute our work with surgical precision.

Trimming trees and shrubs helps ensure safety, promote plant health, and maintain beauty. Improper pruning can weaken branch structure, cause unnecessary wounding, and encourage epicormic growth (suckers) that can divert energy from those areas of the tree that need it most. When you need the help of a tree surgeon, Zen Tree Care is the only call you need to make.

No Spur Pruning

Unless your tree is being removed, DON'T allow spurs to be used in the commission of any tree work. Excessive damage by spurs increases routes of entry by pathogens & insects.
