Tree Pruning

Define the objective before pruning

Record whether the issue involves structure, pedestrian clearance, visibility, dead branches or storm damage. Select timing and methods for the plant involved.

Build the Site-Specific Scope

Coordinate work access, debris handling and protection of occupied routes. Distinguish normal landscape pruning from specialized arboricultural work.

Record What Will Be Reviewed

Use a dated site record to describe the observed condition, the proposed action and the person responsible for followup. Photographs can help explain a location or symptom, but they should be accompanied by a clear description.

For several properties, use common field names and preserve site-level exceptions. Compare recurring issues during the seasonal review so repairs and capital projects can be planned separately from normal maintenance.

Important Scope Considerations

Do not promise that pruning eliminates storm risk. Avoid topping or unnecessary removal without an appropriate reason and qualified review.
