Increased Growth ResponseWhen a portion of a tree's canopy (the area of the tree with leaves) is removed during the dormant season, we often notice an increase in new growth from the remaining branches. The reason why this occurs is because the energy that is stored in the roots and branched is then channeled to fewer growth points. Because the same amount of energy is spread among fewer growth points, each new shoot grows a little more than it would have if the tree/shurb had not been pruned.

Improved Equipment AccessHave you ever thought about how much it cost to bring a piece of equipment across the grass and possibly ruin the grass if the crew members weren't careful enough? Or how it couldn't get really close to the tree because the branches were full of leaves and were in the way? During the winter season many of these things aren't a concern. The ground is solid and can take the weight of the equipment and the leaves have fallen off. What does this mean? Well, it means that your grass isn't getting ruined and the equipment is able to get closer and get the branches that are more in the tree. Now the tree is able to be thinned out throughout all of the tree and not just on the outside where you hope it will be enough and not look ugly!
