Project Objective: Structural Pruning for a Heritage Oak
Location: Victoria, BC
Date: August 2024
Tree Service Job Overview
Background
A client in the Fairfield neighbourhood of Victoria reached out to Advantage Tree Care for help with a large heritage oak tree that had not been pruned in several years. The tree was an iconic feature of their property but had developed some structural weaknesses that needed attention.
Challenges
The primary concern was the heavy, unbalanced canopy, which was putting stress on the main branches and increasing the risk of limb failure. Additionally, the proximity of the tree to the client's home required careful planning to avoid any damage during the pruning process.
Solution
Our team of ISA-certified arborists conducted a detailed assessment of the tree’s health and structure. We performed a strategic structural pruning, reducing the weight of the canopy and removing deadwood. The pruning not only improved the tree's structural integrity but also enhanced its appearance, allowing more light into the client's garden.
Outcome
The client was delighted with the results, as the oak now stands stronger and healthier, with a balanced canopy that will thrive for years to come. The home is safer, and the tree continues to be a majestic presence in the Fairfield community.
