When it comes to pruning your trees, winter's often touted as the prime time, and there's good reason for it. You see, during winter, trees kind of take a snooze, slowing down or pausing most of their activities. This makes them less stressed out by pruning and gives them plenty of downtime to recover. Plus, pests and diseases that might cause trouble after pruning are usually taking it easy too, so there's less risk of an unwanted infestation. And with all those leaves gone, it's way easier to see what you're doing and trim those branches just right. Oh, and if you've got fruit trees, winter pruning can actually bump up your harvest for the coming year!

But hey, sometimes you can't wait until winter to do a little tree TLC. If a big storm rolls through and leaves your tree looking worse for wear, you're gonna want to tidy it up pronto to prevent any further damage. And if you spot any branches playing host to pests or diseases, it's best to nip that in the bud (pun intended) as soon as you can. Same goes for branches that are getting a bit too cozy with your house or blocking your view – they've gotta go, even if it's not winter. And once spring or summer rolls around and those leaves are back in full force, a light trim can help keep your tree in tip-top shape, improving airflow and letting more sunlight through.

But here's the thing: you don't want to go overboard with pruning during the growing season. Taking off too many branches when your tree's trying to grow can stress it out big time. So, save the heavy-duty pruning for winter if you can, and try to keep it to just once a year. Your tree will thank you for it!

Before beginning the pruning process, we prioritize understanding your specific needs and preferences for your tree(s). Whether you require periodic pruning, hazard mitigation, shape improvement, or have any other preferences, we tailor our approach accordingly. Our standard procedure involves evaluating the tree's size and shape, identifying its "skeleton" branches to preserve, and removing damaged or broken branches to optimize nutrient allocation. We then thin out areas with excessive branches, enhance sunlight dispersal, and improve air circulation to deter fungal and insect infestations. Additionally, we prune branches growing towards the tree's center and those obstructing views or posing risks to property. Finally, we shape the tree according to your desired specifications, ensuring it meets both aesthetic and functional requirements.

The cost of tree pruning in Wigan varies depending on several factors. Firstly, the amount of work required plays a significant role, with pruning multiple trees typically costing more than pruning a single tree. However, we offer quantity discounts for concurrent pruning jobs. Additionally, the health of the tree affects pricing, with diseased trees often requiring more effort and thus slightly higher costs. Safety considerations, such as proximity to power lines or property, may also influence pricing, as extra safety measures might be necessary. Furthermore, accessibility to the trees can impact pricing, with easy access helping to keep costs lower. However, each job is unique, and specific circumstances may affect pricing. Therefore, the prices provided are indicative, and for an accurate estimate, we require a thorough understanding of the job scope. Customers can request a free inspection or provide images/videos for assessment. Once we understand the requirements, we provide a written quote with a specific price and any essential details.

In Wigan, trees can grow rapidly, often reaching heights where they may encroach upon buildings or obstruct views. When faced with such situations, crown reduction offers a straightforward solution. By trimming the top of the tree and pruning upper branches, this method helps manage tree size while preserving its overall structure. This is particularly beneficial when trees come into direct contact with buildings, as it can prevent the introduction of moisture, fungi, and insects. While removing the entire tree may seem like an option, opting for crown reduction is typically quicker, simpler, and more cost-effective. It's advisable to reserve tree felling for cases where it is absolutely necessary, ensuring the preservation of valuable greenery in urban landscapes.
