DEADWOOD PRUNING, THINNING, AND STRUCTURAL PRUNING

Surgical Tree Pruning From a Certified Arborist Serving King County & Snohomish County


Sound Arbor specializes in all pruning services, including the trimming of larger trees. We undertake this task considering multiple reasons, always being mindful of each cut's purpose on a tree. While pruning is often for visual appeal, it frequently offers numerous advantages to the tree itself. For instance, if a smaller tree risks uprooting during a windstorm, crown thinning can alleviate some of its burden. Furthermore, pruning can enhance a tree's fruit-bearing capacity in subsequent years.

Frequently asked question about pruning?

Here are a few of the reasons we recommend

  • Pruning a tree is just like pruning another right?

    An experienced arborist caring for your trees is crucial, as each species has unique needs.


    Certain trees thrive with robust pruning, whereas others need a subtler approach. We are well-versed in the most effective techniques to achieve optimal results.

  • What about Fruit Trees?

    Absolutely! We specialize in pruning all types of fruit trees, whether ornamental, fruit-bearing, or any other species native to the NW. Just like all trees, consistent pruning is essential for maintaining the health of your apple, cherry, and other fruit trees.


    It's worth noting that not every fruit tree is identical. Hence, only a certified arborist is equipped with the knowledge to ensure your trees remain undamaged and continue to yield fruit year after year.

  • Why do healthy trees need pruning?

    Through expert tree care, the health of your trees can be prolonged. Adequate pruning promotes better air circulation within the tree canopy. This is crucial because wind resistance might lead to branch breakage or even topple the whole tree.


    For some trees, reducing the density of branches diminishes humidity levels, helping to ward off fungal infections on leaves and stems.

FRUIT TREE PRUNING

For best fruit production, tree shape, and tree health, fruit trees should be pruned 1-2 times a year.
