Proper pruning can help a tree to grow in ways that can be beneficial for the tree and for the tree's owner. Helping trees live with people is important to us at GERE Tree Care.

Unfortunately, improper pruning can seriously damage a tree or shrub. Also, it can increase the need for pruning in the future. All pruning done by Gere Tree Care WILL be done by an ISA Certified Arborist, that is our guarantee. 

Caring for trees and shrubs from planting to maturity is more than just "cutting branches" and spraying chemicals, many times these "treatments" do far more damage than good. Gere Tree Care takes into consideration the health, structure, species, location and many more factors before recommending care.

Crabapple after

After pruning the crabapple maintains a natural look but fits the space better. Also, because of the way it was pruned it is less likely to need pruning in the near future. Improper pruning can increase the amount of pruning needed in the future.
