Tree pruning
Careful advice on the best tree pruning
Tree pruning offers the opportunity to deliberately guide or restrict a tree’s natural growth, allowing its structure and appearance to be shaped in accordance with the tree’s health needs throughout its growth.
Tree pruning is often the best solution
Tree pruning, a meticulous practice in arboriculture, relies on the careful selection of strategically placed branches. Its primary objective is to promote optimal tree growth while freeing up space. In addition, it sometimes aims to deflect growth in order to protect surrounding structures such as buildings and cables, while improving the overall aesthetic appearance of the tree.
Regardless of the height of the tree or the complexity of the branches to be pruned, our dedicated team of experienced pruners excel at carrying out impressive work from ground level.
It’s essential to schedule regular tree maintenance every 5 to 10 years, in order to assess the tree’s state of health. This task requires the intervention of qualified and experienced arborists.
No matter what type of pruning you need – fruit, ornamental or forestry – our team is ready to provide you with a free assessment of your needs. We are committed to providing the best possible service in your area.
With our rope-climbing techniques, we can go anywhere in the trees to do the pruning without damaging them.
The different types of tree pruning:
Thinning involves cutting branches from the center of the tree to create light shafts, allowing more light to pass through the top. Choose this type of pruning to increase natural light in your garden, pool or lawn!
Rehabilitation involves removing all dead and harmful branches from the tree. Our specialist arborists will select weak or misaligned branches, always with the aim of helping the tree direct its energy resources to the right places.
Safety pruning involves cutting away all dead or dangerous branches in a tree. It’s far from complete pruning, but it’s a level of pruning that protects your trees from high winds or storms!
We suggest restructuring when a tree has been poorly pruned in the past and needs to be corrected. Les grosses branches primaires doivent souvent être enlevées pour améliorer la forme de l’arbre.
Crown enhancement involves trimming the tree’s lower branches to give it an appearance of height and elegance. Often, the trees are too full at the bottom, giving the illusion that they are large shrubs. Crown-raising pruning gives more space under the trees for mowing or other activities.
A complete pruning consists of all types of pruning. This is the ultimate pruning for maintaining the health and longevity of your trees.
Ornamental pruning is carried out on small trees or shrubs to preserve or improve their aesthetic appearance.
Fruit pruning involves stimulating the tree’s fruit production.

Many trees are better able to withstand pruning in late autumn or winter, when they are dormant and produce less sap. It also attracts fewer insects that could transmit diseases.
For certain flowering trees, it's best to wait until early spring, or when they are dormant. We can advise you on the timing of pruning.
