Trees contribute significantly to Singapore’s environment and landscape, whether through giving us shady spots to spend our days in, adding beauty to a garden view, or providing natural habitats for native wildlife. To ensure that these majestic plants can continue to enhance our day-to-day life, they must be regularly trimmed, pruned, or cut to keep them healthy and manageable. Greenspade offers tree cutting, tree pruning, tree removal, and tree trimming services islandwide.
Our team consists of professional landscapers, horticulturists, and arborists trained in tree care to provide you with the best advice on keeping trees healthy and well-maintained. Our professionals can advise you on whether certain parts of the tree could pose a risk to people or animals and can provide follow-up landscaping services to remove any dead or dying branches and leaves. Feel free to ask them more about our tree-felling services too.
What is Tree Pruning?
Tree pruning involves the strategic removal of certain tree branches, and it is practised for various purposes such as enhancing the tree’s aesthetic appeal, boosting fruit production, or controlling the tree’s size. In densely populated urban environments like Singapore, pruning takes on an added significance; it helps in removing damaged or potentially hazardous branches, thereby mitigating the risk of falling limbs during strong winds.
Aside from these benefits, regular and correctly executed pruning also serves an essential role in garden pest management. By eliminating dead or diseased branches, you remove potential habitats and food sources for pests. In this way, pruning helps maintain the tree’s overall health, vitality, and structural integrity. Conversely, incorrect pruning techniques can lead to unnecessary damage or even the premature death of the tree. Thus, the significance of proper tree pruning should not be underestimated.
Our Tree Cutting Services
1. Crown reduction
Crown reduction is a type of tree cutting involving reducing the tree canopy’s height and/or spread. In densely populated Singapore, crown reduction allows trees to thrive without infringing on nearby properties or infrastructure. This service is also done to reduce the weight of the tree’s branches, making it less likely to uproot or cause property damage during heavy rainstorms.
2. Tree trimming
Tree trimming involves trimming or removing excess branches from a tree. This ensures that your tree is neatly shaped and can also help to enhance the tree’s health and growth. Regular tree trimming is vital in maintaining the size and shape of your trees or shrubs and can help prevent overgrowth that could endanger others.
3. Deadwood removal
Deadwood removal or tree removal service is a tree cutting technique that involves removing dead or dying branches from a tree. This is often done to improve the tree’s appearance or to prevent the spread of disease to other parts of the tree. Additionally, by decreasing the exposed surface area the wind can impact, it minimises the risk of wind damage. In Singapore, deadwood removal also helps to maintain the vitality of the city’s green spaces for a sustainable urban ecosystem.
4. Thinning
Thinning is a tree-cutting service that involves removing some branches from a tree. This service is often done to improve the tree’s appearance or to allow more light to reach other plants underneath it. Not only that, but it also helps reduce the risk of wind damage by reducing the amount of surface area that the wind can catch.
5. Tree elevation
When your trees show signs of stress, it may be time to consider a tree-elevation service. This type of tree-cutting service improves the health of your trees by raising them off the ground. This allows for better drainage and aeration around the roots, reducing stress and improving overall tree health, while also improving the appearance of your trees by giving them a more aesthetically pleasing look. Moreover, by elevating tree canopies, you can utilise the area beneath the trees more effectively for recreational activities – which can help to maximise space in land scarce Singapore.
