Tree Planting & Prunning

Tree Planting & Pruning Services offered by T2 Landscapes Limited of Waiheke Island in Auckland.

Tree Pruning is an essential element of maintaining healthy trees and shrubs. Pruning typically aims to enhance structure and safety, control size and remove dead or diseased branches; additional objectives may include opening vistas, repairing storm damage and providing clearance for structures or traffic. Proper pruning removes crossing or rubbing branches, suckers from rootstocks, water sprouts from limbs, as well as any objectionable growth such as crossing branches rubbing each other and suckers from roots; it also removes damaged or diseased limbs while opening up canopy accessing sunlight, air, moisture.

Newly planted trees should be pruned lightly immediately following planting and sparsely throughout the first season after being placed into their new surroundings. This formative pruning fosters strong, well-balanced trees with minimal ongoing maintenance requirements later. If done properly in a nursery environment, pruning helps the plants establish healthy root systems while creating an ideal growing environment for their species.

T2 Landscapes ltd offers expertly trained staff that are ready to prune newly planted trees at planting time and later during summer in preparation for winter weather and to promote optimal growth. Formative pruning can make all the difference between an unsightly, stunted tree that requires drastic trimming to remain healthy or an attractive specimen that makes you proud to own and look upon.
