There are plenty of good reasons to have your trees pruned by certified arborists: safety, health, appearance, and to create space and light. Request recommendations from a qualified estimator today.
In cities and suburbs, pruning is often essential. Removing dead, diseased, or weak wood significantly reduces risks to people and nearby structures. It also gives us a chance to visually inspect the upper canopy—an important step for safety. Pruning helps create the right clearance between your tree and your home, vehicles, and surrounding infrastructure. And finally, it keeps trees enjoyable to live with by preserving their health and making practical adjustments when needed—like bringing back more natural light.
Enjoy your trees with peace of mind by trusting professionals. The estimate is fast and free—request yours today.
You should never remove more than 20% of a tree's foliage during pruning. Going beyond that puts the tree under stress and can shorten its lifespan.
You want your trees in expert hands. Our estimators are trained, experienced, and hands-on in the field. With their knowledge and genuine passion for trees, they'll explain exactly how the work will be done—and why.
Pruning is one of the most important tree care operations in urban settings. It involves removing branches or sections that are harmful—either to the tree itself or to the surrounding environment. A dead branch, for example, drains the tree's energy, and it also becomes a safety hazard because it can fall and cause damage or injury. Certified arborists prune according to strict safety standards and tree-health guidelines. This includes how much can be removed, proper cutting angles, and safe work methods.
Request your free estimate today and speak with a pruning professional to understand what your trees need—and take the right action.
Sanitary pruning is essential to a tree's longevity. To find out if your trees need it, request a free estimate today.
Sanitary pruning removes what harms the tree: dead wood, weak unions, and diseased branches. In an urban setting, it can also include sections that rub against another plant or touch a building.
The result is a healthier tree that lives longer—while creating better harmony between your tree, your structures, and surrounding plants. In one click, request a free health assessment and bring out the best in your yard.
To keep your trees safe, you need regular visual inspections by a trained arboriculture evaluator. When you have your trees inspected by Arboplus, you'll get a clear, reliable answer about their safety. Trust your trees to one of our certified estimators to determine whether safety pruning is needed.
Safety pruning removes what is dangerous. Our crew removes dead, diseased, or weak wood to prevent hazardous falls that could harm people or damage structures. We also establish roughly three metres of clearance from structures such as roofs, sheds, pools, and electrical lines.
Once the hazardous wood is removed and proper clearance is in place, you can enjoy your yard with confidence. Request a free estimate today to evaluate your trees' safety.
You love your trees—but you're worried about your safety and your neighbours' too? Our expert arborists provide free guidance and focus on preservation first. With Arboplus, you're trusting specialists who can turn your yard into a beautiful, safe haven.

If branches are within three metres of your structures, request a free estimate today to avoid costly issues.
Structural clearance pruning is all about protecting what's around the tree. When branches sit too close, trapped moisture can lead to premature deterioration and mould. Our certified pruners follow best practices to clear structures safely. Using controlled rigging techniques, no branch will strike your property during the work. Everything is done to create enough clearance without compromising the tree's health. Our arboricultural training also means we make proper cuts in the right locations and proportions to encourage strong healing.
Choose experts who know how to protect your structures without harming your trees. Request a free estimate today and enjoy your trees without risking damage to your property.
A crown that sits too low can reduce visibility, interfere with safe movement, and even damage vehicles in your driveway or on the street. Trust your tree to our certified arborists to prevent the issues caused by low branches in urban settings.
Crown raising is especially important in cities and suburbs, where you need to use the space under a tree without obstacles. During crown raising, our certified team determines the right height for the lowest branches based on the type of traffic. A tree along a boulevard, for example, needs a higher crown to allow trucks and buses to pass. In a backyard, we focus on the clearance needed for comfortable pedestrian movement.
To ensure your tree supports urban life rather than getting in the way, request a free estimate without delay. Clearance is a key part of keeping harmony between the tree and its environment.

If your tree casts too much shade over the pool or garden, thinning may be the right solution. Thinning helps you appreciate your ornamental tree again. Don't put up with excessive shade—have your tree assessed today.
To keep an urban tree enjoyable and well-balanced, thinning can restore natural light. It's often suited to denser trees such as Norway maple. Arboplus' certified pruners carry out thinning carefully and according to best practices to preserve your tree.
Make your trees enjoyable to live with. It's absolutely possible to enjoy the greenery, freshness, and beauty of mature trees—and still get sunshine. Request a free online estimate to see whether thinning meets your needs.

A ladder is considered one of the most dangerous tools on any jobsite. Amateur pruning without the right knowledge and equipment too often ends in the hospital. For a qualified arborist, a ladder is only used to access the tree—most of the work is done with ropes specifically designed for arboriculture.
Pruning must be done by technicians with proven skills—for many reasons. Safety and equipment control matter, but the arborist's expertise is just as critical. Pruning that isn't done to high standards can seriously harm a tree. That's why Arboplus professional arborists (climbing arborists) start with a tree diagnosis, then determine the right type of pruning. They also have the full equipment needed to work at height, along with liability insurance coverage.
As a general rule, preventive pruning can be done at any time of year without putting a tree's health at risk. That said, pruning before spring growth often has a positive effect on the tree's development.
On the other hand, heavy corrective pruning—meaning the removal of a large amount of leaves—can be risky in spring. When done right at the start of the season, it puts the tree under stress after it has already spent a lot of energy producing new leaves and shoots.
Arboplus climbing arborists use one primary method: crown maintenance. This means removing dead or diseased branches, as well as branches that interfere with a structure or are too weak. All of these are part of the tree's crown. In line with our mission, we focus on actions that create a durable, positive impact on both the tree and the environment.
If crown maintenance is preferred over other pruning techniques, it's because it truly supports the tree's overall health. A tree handles several small, well-made cuts far better than a single severe wound. An ecological approach that prioritizes clean, healthy cuts can also help prevent the appearance—or worsening—of tree disease.
A cut can contribute to the spread of disease if the wounds allow pathogens to enter the tree's structure. That's why pruning must be done with precision and restraint.
This approach improves the tree's ability to produce sugars, distributes foliage more evenly, and protects the structure. Arboplus chooses crown maintenance over thinning, crown raising, and topping—techniques that focus primarily on shape and appearance rather than long-term tree health.
