Connecticut Tree Pruning Services

Don’t get entangled with untrained pruners. Call the experts today.

Trees are a key component of outdoor beauty, but without regular maintenance, they cannot achieve their full potential. Their branches may overgrow and hang extremely low, break during storms, or the tree's entire crown may become too full. Tree pruning under the guidance of a certified Arborist is an easy fix for such a potentially dangerous situation.

Whether your objective is to promote tree health, fruit production, and safety or to improve your view and let more sunlight in, tree trimming crews at E.C. Tree (located in CT) are qualified and experienced to do the job.

Why is tree pruning important?

Why is pruning a tree important?

Longevity

Dead and diseased branches can deter the growth and even kill your tree. Pruning can extend its lifespan. 

Improved Appearance

An untrimmed tree may look like a coat rack or a tree from a Dr. Seuss book. Pruning enhances its appearance and makes it look beautiful. 

More Sunlight

Overgrown trees cast too much shade in your yard. Pruning boosts the growth of other plants and grass by eliminating obstacles to sunlight.

Safety

Weak or dead branches can fall off during a storm. Tree trimming reduces the possibility of property damage during a windstorm.

Better Tree Health

If the branches of a tree are too dense, their growth will be impacted. Proper pruning opens up the canopy and lets air and light filter throughout the tree canopy for increased foliage. 

Attractive landscape

Pruning helps to create an aesthetically pleasing landscape.

Why Hire EC Tree Service for Tree Pruning?

We give special care to each tree.

There is no single way to prune a tree. Different structures and needs necessitate the use of different techniques. Our arborists prune every tree, in the right way, every time. There is an improper way to trim trees called "tree topping," which deforms the tree, resulting in unsafe windsail, irreversible damage, or, in many cases, the death of the tree, which then creates a future issue of needing that dead tree removed. Our arborist-guided tree work focuses on keeping your tree looking balanced, natural, and healthy regardless of what type of tree it is.

Free Tree Assessment

Our Arborist will do a quality health assessment to determine the condition of your tree. After this, we will determine how much pruning is required to minimize damage to your tree. 

Scientific Trimming Techniques

DIY tree pruning might result in injury to stem tissues or ripping the bark. We keep up with the latest scientific trimming approaches to minimize pruning wounds and maximize tree health and sustainability.

Up-to-date Knowledge of Tree Varieties

Each tree is unique and requires different maintenance. We have a comprehensive knowledge of tree physiology and use it to promote growth through strategic pruning. 

An Experienced Arborist

Inexperienced and underqualified tree pruning services can leave your trees susceptible to rotting and insect infestation. EC tree crews, guided by our experienced arborist, will identify weak or diseased branches and trim them to promote growth.

Pruning Different Types of Trees

We don’t cut corners while pruning your trees!

Different types of trees have distinctive pruning needs, which our professional arborist can confidently handle.


Deciduous trees

Deciduous trees should be pruned when they are dormant, in late winter or early spring before bud-break. Extensive pruning during late spring shoot growth and leaf expansion can stress a tree and produce an excessive number of water sprouts. Dead branches can be removed anytime.

Conifers

Conifers include various types of trees and require pruning at different times of the year. Pines, Arborvitae, and Junipers require pruning in late spring and early summer, whereas Firs, Spruces, Hemlocks, and Yews require pruning in late winter or late summer when dormant.

Ornamentals

Flowering ornamentals generate buds at different periods of the year, so their trimming schedules must be adjusted properly. Spring-flowering plants, such as azalea, dogwood, forsythia, redbud, and rhododendron, set bloom buds in the fall. Such ornamentals should be pruned after flowering. Plants that flower in the summer, e.g. Crape, Myrtle, and Abelia, generate flower buds on new growth and can be clipped in the winter with no effect on flowering.

Crabapples

Crabapples should be pruned when the tree is dormant and the possibility of severely cold weather has passed. This means the pruning should be done in late winter or early spring. Suckers can be pruned away at any time of the year.

Best in the business. There's a reason they won best tree surgeon in the Reader's choice awards. They were professional and courteous. Job was done perfectly.

Why should I have my trees and shrubs trimmed?

Tree pruning results in better growth of trees and makes your property safer. It is more effective when done by professionals. An unqualified tree trimmer might cause a pruning wound on a young tree which can impact its growth. One of the many other pruning mistakes is to prune branches on or below the branch collar and the branch bark ridge. It damages the tree's natural defense mechanisms.

When is the best time to have my trees trimmed?

One of the greatest pruning mistakes is to trim the trees at the wrong time of the year. Each tree requires pruning according to its type or flowering season. An expert tree care service has an in-depth knowledge of the tree species and can prune branches in the right way.

Landscaping is not one of the services we offer, but we can give recommendations for reputable companies in our area that do!
