Tree Pruning
Tree Pruning Experts in Newmarket, ON
The best way to prune a tree depends on many factors including the type of tree, past maintenance and the goals and convenience of the owner. There are some guidelines for different types, timing, and frequency of pruning, but in general a tree can be trimmed to your specifications. Pruning can improve a tree’s appearance and create space around other structures, such as homes, decks, gazebos, driveways, and utility lines – not to mention, it can save you filling a few more leaf bags in the fall!
Regular tree pruning will improve your tree’s health as it can increase air flow, improve sunlight to the ground below, remove deadwood, reduce weight from problem branches, train and form good structure, remove redundant branches, and reduce leaf wetness period.

Your Tree’s Health
Most trees in an urban environment require pruning to maintain their health. Our trained arborists can estimate the last time a tree was pruned and recommend the timing, frequency and type of prune that’s best for your tree’s health.
Types of Pruning
At Gonzo’s Tree Service, the types of pruning we perform most often are: full pruning for overall appearance; structural pruning to create space around other structures on the property; and thinning out the crown.
Timing of Pruning
The timing of pruning depends on the species of tree, the history of the tree’s maintenance and your convenience. If your tree hasn’t been maintained, now is the best time to begin to care for your tree. We like to say: when you’re making the right cuts, you can prune any time. There are some species that are exceptions to this rule and during your free estimate, our expert arborist can make a specific recommendation.
Frequency of Pruning
Though many factors are at play, a deciduous tree should likely be pruned every 3-5 years. Ornamental trees and hedges can be pruned to the specifications of the owner and often are pruned every year to maintain the desired look.
