Tree Pruning
Q3: What are the benefits of tree pruning?
Tree pruning offers several benefits, including improved tree health, enhanced aesthetic appeal, increased safety by removing hazardous branches, and better sunlight penetration for lawns and gardens.
Q4: When is the best time to prune trees in Calgary?
The best time to prune most trees in Calgary is during the late winter or early spring when trees are dormant. This timing helps minimize stress and the risk of disease and pest infestation.
Q5: How often should trees be pruned?
The frequency of pruning depends on the tree species, age, and health. Generally, most trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, but some fast-growing species may require more frequent maintenance.
