Whether you are a nature enthusiast or simply just a homeowner who enjoys a tidy outdoor space, tree pruning is key to garden maintenance. And in today’s world, the upkeep of your garden can easily be forgotten because of busy schedules. Tree pruning, mowing your lawn, and hedge trimming often seem like tasks you can put off for a while. But before you know it, you may find yourself with an overgrow and unsightly garden. Hort Culture is specialists in tree pruning in North Shore, so we understand just how important it is to keep to a regular schedule.
This article delves into valuable tree pruning for your garden and when to call out the experts to give you a helping hand.
Pruning Is Important
We find that our clients often ask for tree pruning services or do it themselves without fully understanding its purpose. Pruning can help you deter diseases and infections from spreading, encourage regrowth and correct incorrect growth. Branches that are leaning to one side can easily be avoided with careful pruning. But insect infestations can also be quickly addressed when you maintain your trees in a timely manner. Pruned trees also generally look neater than overgrowing ones, adding to the neatness of your garden.
Knowing How To Prune
Pruning seems simple enough. It’s just snipping off tree branches, right? This is actually a common misconception amongst homeowners. Pruning has to be targeted, and it’s easy to worsen your tree’s health if done incorrectly. You need to know where to prune for you to encourage effective growth. Cut off too much, and you may permanently damage your tree, cut off too less, and end up with serious decay and rot.
Pruning Professionals Add Value

Trees are easily disregarded because people assume there is no longer any maintenance work needed now that they are fully grown. But this is incorrect, as dead branches are dangerous as they can damage property and injure people if ignored. Furthermore, decaying trees can infect the rest of your garden, spreading rot and causing you more costly bills in the future.
