Hello,
I am a tree pruner and climber located in the Oakland hills. I prune for the health of the tree. I value pruning trees primarily for what the tree needs to have healthy, strong branching structure for a long life. This means proper cuts for good wound closure and limiting disease, removing redundant or competing branches, branch removal or reduction for light and airflow, and being mindful of not removing too much at one time to reduce reaction growth. I primarily prune small to medium ornamental trees. I am available to climb taller trees when needed for deadwood or broken branch removal or other tasks as needed.
