Tree Trimming Fort Lauderdale
- Helping our clients’ trees be safer and look wonderful again
Trimming and Pruning Definition
Tree trimming, specifically, is a calculated activity in response to a threat caused by a tree or substantial shrub. BY way of example, a tree must definitely be trimmed if a limb blocks a street or perhaps walkway in Fort Lauderdale. While tree limbs remain in risk of destroying residential or commercial property, they will need to be cut down and disposed of. It might also be desirable that the entire form of the tree needs sprucing up for a more cosmetic aim in mind.
It really is comparable and yet slightly different to pruning. Tree pruning is a lot more of a scheduled, predetermined practice necessitating precise cuts in particular locations on the tree and also over certain months of the year in order to maximize the tree's condition or fecundity. But, actually, both words are employed interchangeably very often.

How to trim a tree without killing it
You may be tempted to trim a tree on your own. Assuming that you possess a small tree, it could be feasible IF you can secure the suitable tools, a little knowledge and safety gear and don't involve teetering on a step ladder. It is very difficult to encapsulate many years of training as well as skill in a handful of sentences. Having said that, several of the common slips we encounter and what to refrain from are detailed here in these tips:
- A stub is left where the tree limb has been cut off. Such stubs will attract decay because trees can not heal them fully. Rather, cut close to the main branch or trunk without damaging the 'collar'. Don't cut down too close into the collar because the cut will be slow to heal and encourage rot causing a weakness in the principal limb.
- Cuts are sometimes too oblique to the direction of the tree branch and also larger than needed. Your trimming wound will need to be clean and you have to try for the smallest cut face feasible. In any other case, the cut will definitely heal over much more slowly, requiring additional energy that the tree could utilize in other parts of the tree.
- Trees are sometimes being cut way too dramatically. This is normally referred to as topping and will promote poor growth in the event that it doesn't kill the tree. Aim to trim no more than 25% from the overall tree canopy in any 1 year.
- The tree is way too large to cut. Untrained people climbing up sizable trees can easily and does bring about a high danger of an accident and property damages beneath and about the tree. Simply never do it - get in touch with the professionals.
How to trim a large tree without killing yourself
Simply say no! Call Tree Top Pros as an alternative. Thinning a big tree requires climbing hardware or hydraulic bucket rigs. There a huge danger of tumbling off normal domestic ladders leading to a leading reason for yard accidental injuries and worse. The limbs of large trees are, well, much larger and much heavier. When cut off they can swing about wildly and so are easily able to compromise and take out that carefully placed ladder that you’re standing on. This is the 2nd area of substantial danger and it’s simply just not worth the small financial savings you earn doing it yourself.
How to trim a small tree

We explain the highest height of commonly available tree-cutting products (such as pruning saws with long pole extensions) which approximates to about 30 feet. Any tree taller than 30 feet will definitely require ladders and our experts don't recommend you make use of these to climb up a tree when it comes to your own health and safety. Our experts have seen and know about too many unfortunate incidents. The first time you think about trimming, phone our district arborist and they'll demonstrate to you the best ways to prune ... as well as trim. Or look out for a local pruning or trimming seminar sometimes available in your locality.
Trimming Permit
Many local districts including Broward county ask that people acquire a pruning permit before work starts on your tree, particularly if it's placed within a business or industrial area or found within a shared community living location or county-owned property. Several counties go even further and need a before and after assessment. We know the policies and regulations in your locality and are able to advise you as necessary. As an alternative, our staff is able to deal with the application form for you if you wish.
