Pruning is the art of making the right choices for the long-term health of a tree. Structural pruning early in a tree’s life and early in each growing season will keep your trees looking beautiful and promote a healthy mature tree. Pruning also trains tree growth, guiding them away from obstacles such as buildings and power lines.

Why We Never Wear Spurs When We Prune:
Early tree climbing techniques relied on the use of spikes or spurs to enter the tree for pruning, creating an open wound with every step up the tree. This creates easy paths into the tree for insects and diseases . Healing these wounds takes energy away from the tree that it needs for other purposes, especially in the short Alaskan growing season. PTS is skilled in advanced tree entry techniques that eliminate the use of spikes or spurs for pruning.

After a tree has been removed, the remaining stump is often an obstacle or eyesore. Stump grinding is the perfect way to either reclaim the area for your lawn or plant another tree. PTS is able to access most stumps with our mobile grinders, even those in backyards.

Trees can be compromised due to natural decay, insect infestation, weather, or physical damage and become unsafe for your property or family.

Remember: Pruning can help reduce the risk of damage to your trees by allowing increased airflow and less snow-loading, which are two of the most preventable reasons trees fail during storms.

Cabling and bracing can extend the life of your tree and is often an alternative to removal. Cabling involves placing a cable to connect separate limbs or trunks of a tree, reinforcing weak junctures. Bracing is the insertion of a support rod through a limb juncture of a tree to help reinforce the limbs or leads above.

The most important thing to consider when planting a tree is location, location, location! Choosing the right spot for a tree means less maintenance and pruning in the future. PTS will help you select the right tree for your property, and make sure it’s planted correctly for the greatest chance at success.
