Our tree trimming & pruning process is based on the following: Appearance of the Tree When trimming a tree that is fairly young, it is important to focus on creating a tree structure that will be strong and preps the tree for a healthy, long life.  Tree that are already mature should be properly pruned in order to uphold the strong tree structure.  It also assists with the keeping the tree healthy and aesthetically pleasing.  If you are considering cutting down a healthy tree, call Poteet Tree Service at 615-399-9999.  We can assist in this decision making process and possibly offer some alternative solutions. Tree Safety Tree branches that could easy fall and cause property damage or injury need to be carefully pruned and removed.  Any tree branches that block driveways, side walks or hinder the line-of-sight on streets much be removed.  Pruning for safety may also consist of removal of certain limbs that are growing too close to buildings or over or under structures.  An alternative solution to this type of pruning for safety may be tree bracing. Tree Health When a tree’s branches become plagued with insects or disease, it is important to perform tree pruning to eliminate the infestation.  Another way to improve a tree’s health is to have the tree’s crown thinned in order to improve airflow.  Eliminating any branches that are rubbing or crossed is another to promote a healthy tree.  A tree that is properly pruned will be stronger in the midst of storms, heavy snow and high winds.
