Utilise the proper personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses with side shields, hard headgear, gloves, a long-sleeved blouse, long trousers and steel-toed boots. Never trim branches or trees within 10 feet of power lines. Contact your local utility company for tree pruning services performed by appropriately qualified professionals.
Too much pruning can result in nutrient deficiencies or branches too frail to withstand wind or repel disease and insect infestations. Over-pruning and topping can irreparably deform or even destroy your trees. Additionally, a tree's foliage is essential for protecting it from excessive solar exposure.
At other times of the year, such as leaf out, leaf drop, or during flowering, pruning can negatively impact plant health. Pruning can cause undue stress on trees and shrubs because it causes so much vital energy to be lost during these phases when plants exert much power.
It will affect the water cycle, decimate flora and fauna, and contribute to an increase in carbon dioxide, thereby contributing to the acceleration of global warming. Cutting down trees destroys animal and avian habitats, causes floods and fires, and limits the availability of wood and timber.
