Resist The Urge to Over Prune

When trees are over pruned, damage to the health of the tree is likely if not inevitable. As opposed to preventing infection, over pruning a tree may spread infection by allowing insects into cuts made too deep or into the wrong parts of the tree.  Too much pruning can make branches weak and allow disease to take hold.  Over pruning also cuts the food supply of the tree, or it could cause the tree to sprout uncontrollably to overcompensate for lost foliage.

It’s always best to contact a tree service in Locust Valley NY when you need something done correctly. A certified arborist will be able to make a lot happen in one session with you. Just make it clear what you are there for and what your yard needs. They will be able to handle the rest.
