While we always strive to render beautiful trees, pruning is rarely a purely esthetic undertaking. As our understanding of tree health care evolves, so does our commitment to continuing education and best practices around pathology and insect management. Our arborists prune to create healthy and visually stunning specimens. As we only service Boise, Garden City, and Eagle, we know our neighborhoods and strive for the careful preservation of our city’s urban canopy. Our arborists will always take the time to explain how specific techniques achieve the best results – feel free to ask any of them.

Benefits of Pruning

Urban and residential trees need routine maintenance and care. Pruning typically involves removing or reducing parts of the tree that are too dense or over-extended, are encroaching on homes, sheds, or other property assets, pose hazards, or are structurally compromised.

Maintenance: In urban environments (think poor soil conditions and ambient stressors), trees and shrubs need appropriate maintenance to help them live a long, healthy life.

Protection: Pruning provides protection from weather-related failures and in some cases, from spreading disease and insect proliferation.

Healthy Growth Habit: Early pruning of juvenile specimens helps establish healthy growth patterns which promote longevity and integrity of the adult tree structure.

Safety: Removing damaged or diseased branches keep trees structurally sound, preventing limb breakage in wind and snowstorms.

Aesthetics: Properly done, pruning enhances visibility and property values.
