Why do we prune trees?
There are several reasons to prune trees. Pruning encourages a strong and healthy growth, favours both flower and fruit production, and removes safety hazards like weak or dead branches. On top of that, by getting rid of all the damaged limbs and enhancing the tree’s natural shape, pruning gives it aesthetic appeal, which never hurts.
When should trees be pruned?
To encourage growth, most deciduous trees should be pruned during their dormant season, which usually coincides with late autumn or winter. However, there are many exceptions to this rule.

What is the difference between trimming and pruning a tree?
Even though these terms are often used interchangeably, there are many differences between trimming and pruning a tree.
While pruning mainly consists of cutting dead, infected or broken branches to promote the health and growth of a tree, trimming is mainly carried out for aesthetic purposes or other reasons, like allowing more sunshine into the garden.
At Knutsford Tree Services, we offer both trimming and tree pruning services.
Types of tree pruning services that we offer
Depending on your tree’s situation and the result that you wish to achieve, we can offer different types of tree pruning services:

Crown reduction, mainly used to ensure a specific clearance from a house, building or large object;
