Precise and Knowledgable Tree Lopping Services

Tree Pruning

When you have a tree that has damaged or diseased branches, these add extra weight to the tree, can cause issues to the tree and even stop it from growing properly. If you want to preserve its health and encourage it to grow, you need to have those branches pruned. There is a lot involved with tree lopping. It’s not just about going in there and cutting at branches at random, you need to pay attention to any branches that may be growing inwards and any that are crossing as these could create friction and can cause them to break. 

Tree pruning is also used for more minor work, like getting rid of small branches and water sprouts.

Tree Lopping

Tree lopping, on the other hand, is more intensive and used for modifying the tree shape through cautious and well-thought-out branch cutting to train them to grow in the best direction. It involves focusing on the removal of damaged sections that no longer help encourage new growth.

When Do You Need Tree Pruning and Tree Lopping?

Now that you know the difference between tree lopping and tree pruning. You may wonder when it is the time to use either. Fortunately, our experienced arborist team can help you decide. To give you some hints, though, you need to look at the tree and think about why it needs to be trimmed.

Disease

If the leaves on the tree have faded in colour or have mosaic spotting, this is a sign that there could be a fungal or viral disease. If the disease has localised spreading, you are the best pruning it, whereas if it has spread through contact, lopping is safest.

Tree Shaping

If you are looking to have the tree trimmed for enhanced aesthetics, you need to consider its structure. If it has thick branches, lopping is the most effective option, whereas if the branches have more foliage and are thinner, pruning is the best course of action.

For Safety Purposes

Trees can not only cause serious property damage but also cause serious injury to people, whether it’s those who live with you or anyone walking by your property.

To Prevent Damage to Property

Often, property and houses are built around trees to prevent causing harm to the local ecosystem. The problem that arises when this is done is that the tree growth needs to be redirected to stop it from causing damage to the property. 

The most commonly used option is tree lopping as this can ensure the tree continues to grow but in a more controlled and safer way. As well as protecting your property or home, this will also protect the health and structural integrity of the tree.
