Why Tree Pruning Is Essential
Tree pruning is vital to maintaining the health, safety, and appearance of your trees. Regular pruning removes dead, diseased, or overgrown branches, improving airflow and allowing sunlight to reach the tree’s core.
Pruning encourages healthier growth, removes weak or damaged branches, and reduces the risk of falling limbs. Whether your goal is enhancing the shape, boosting health, or preventing damage, Foy Tree Care has the expertise to ensure your trees are in the best hands.

Tree Pruning Services
Crown Cleaning: this involves removing deadwood and any limbs or branches that may pose a hazard.
Crown Thinning: if your tree hasn’t been pruned before and is of a mature age, thinning may be required. This involves primarily removing overcrowding branches, allowing more space and air flow within the canopy. This will also make the tree easier to prune in the future, saving you money!
Crown Elevation: this involves removing low hanging branches that may be encroaching on pedestrians or vehicles. Crown elevation can also be done to improve aesthetics and open up views (also known as Vista Pruning).
Crown Reduction: reducing the height of the tree. This can be a particularly tricky task because it involves removing the upper foliage of a tree which is most important to sustaining the health and growth of a tree. As an ISA Certified Arborist, I will have the knowledge to do this properly to ensure the future health of your tree and accomplish your tree care goals at the same time.
Structural Pruning: most people think that because a tree is young, you can get away with not having it pruned until later. Pruning young trees, known as structural pruning, is in fact the most important aspect to ensuring the future health of your tree. Structural pruning is also the most difficult because it requires in depth knowledge of the tree species, growth, and pruning cuts.
Fruit Tree Pruning: pruning a fruit tree requires knowledge of different species of trees and the best time to prune them in order to produce the most fruit. Whether you have an ornamental or fruit producing fruit tree, I offer pruning services for them.
Elm Tree Pruning: Elm trees contribute over 40% of Edmonton’s urban forest and is one of the only places left in the world to have healthy Elm trees. If you have an Elm Tree, consider the fact that they may only be pruned between Oct 1 – March 31 in order to prevent the spread of Dutch Elm Disease.
FAQ - Tree Trimming & Pruning
The frequency of trimming and pruning depends on the tree species, age, and overall health. Most trees benefit from a prune every 2-3 years, though trees near buildings, power lines, or those showing signs of disease may require more frequent attention.
Tree trimming and pruning are the same thing.
When performed by a professional, tree pruning should not harm your trees. In fact, proper pruning can help encourage better growth and prevent disease. Incorrect pruning, however, can damage the tree, which is why it’s important to hire an experienced arborist.
Winter is often an ideal time for tree pruning in Edmonton because trees are dormant during the colder months. This minimizes the risk of disease and pest infestations and allows our arborists to easily identify structural issues without the obstruction of leaves.

The best time for pruning depends on the type of tree. Winter is an excellent time to prune trees because they are dormant, and for certain species such as Elm and the Prunus family – it is the only time they should be pruned. Spring blooming varities can be pruned in spring after they finish blooming. In general though, the time of the year a tree is pruned does not dramatically affect its ability to heal. Consulting with a professional arborist ensures the timing is right for your specific trees.
Yes, pruning helps remove dead or diseased branches, reducing the risk of diseases spreading to the rest of the tree. Proper pruning also improves airflow, which can further reduce disease risks.
Tree pruning does not directly make your tree grow faster, but it encourages healthier growth by removing excess or dead branches. This allows the tree to focus its energy on stronger, more vital growth.
Signs that your tree may need trimming or pruning include overgrown or crossed branches, dead or damaged limbs, branches that interfere with structures or power lines, or trees that have a poor structural balance. If you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to contact an arborist for an evaluation.
The cost of tree pruning varies depending on the size of the tree, the type of service required, and the complexity of the job. A free consultation with Foy Tree Care can provide an accurate estimate based on the condition of your trees and the work needed.
Tree pruning in Edmonton will range from $200-$800+ with most pruning jobs falling between $300-$700. Exceptionally large trees that require extensive pruning and rigging will cost more.
