Proper Pruning Matters

Understanding proper pruning technique is like learning to perform surgery on your trees—precision matters. The key is making clean cuts close to, but not into, the branch bark ridge and collar. This careful approach allows the tree to naturally seal the wound, creating an effective barrier against disease and decay that keeps your tree healthy for years to come.

Improper pruning techniques, such as flush cuts or leaving nicks in the bark, work against the tree’s natural healing process. Think of it like tearing a bandage off wrong—instead of clean healing, you create unnecessary damage that makes recovery much harder. These poor cuts leave your tree vulnerable and struggling to close wounds properly, opening the door to infections and long-term health problems.

Why Tree Trimming is Important

Regular tree trimming and pruning isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s essential for maintaining healthy trees that won’t become hazards to your family or property. Proper care prevents costly emergencies while ensuring your trees continue to enhance your landscape for decades to come.

Safety First

Remove dangerous dead branches and overgrowth that could fall during storms and injure people or damage structures

Property Protection

Prevent costly damage to roofs, siding, windows, and power lines from overgrown or weakened branches

Tree Health

Promote stronger growth and disease resistance by removing diseased wood and improving air circulation throughout the canopy

Hi, I'm Ladson Poole

Owner | ISA Certified Arborist

After leaving a career in corporate sales, Ladson stumbled into arboriculture and quickly fell in love. This year is ArborWorks’ fourth year in business and we plan to continue to serve Mandeville, Covington and the surrounding area for years to come.

What our customers say

We bought our property 8 years ago and the biggest appeal was the beautiful live oaks. We wanted a certified arborist, not just a tree guy, and that’s how we found Ladson with ArborWorks. We really appreciated all the knowledge Ladson has about the trees. They’ve done several jobs and we definitely recommend them to everyone.

Rodriguez Residence

We are very happy with what ArborWorks did for us. We have live oaks that had been neglected for decades, so we did selective pruning instead of straight tree removal. Ladson gave us great tips on tree care and they also left zero footprint after removing hurricane-damaged pine trees. We would definitely recommend them to absolutely anybody.

Guinchard Residence

We had a tree fall down in our backyard after one of the storms. We were looking for a company that was certified and licensed and we found ArborWorks. From the start to the finish they were very professional and courteous. You could not tell that they had been in our backyard after they removed the tree – there were no ruts and everything looks wonderful.
