Seattle Wound sealing after pruning

Pruning is essential for maintaining healthy trees and shrubs, especially in Seattle’s unique climate. However, improper pruning can lead to open wounds that invite pests and diseases. Wound sealing after pruning is an effective solution that protects your plants, enhances curb appeal, and promotes eco-friendliness. By investing in this service, you not only ensure the health of your greenery but also reduce future maintenance needs.

Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

Wound sealing involves applying a protective sealant to the cut surfaces of pruned branches. Here’s what the process typically includes:

  • Assessment: Evaluating the health of the tree or shrub before pruning.
  • Pruning: Removing dead or diseased branches using clean, sharp tools to minimize damage.
  • Wound Sealing: Applying a high-quality, eco-friendly sealant to the exposed cuts to prevent pathogens from entering.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Appearance: Sealed wounds look cleaner and more professional, improving your property’s overall aesthetic.
  • Durability: A proper seal protects the cuts from moisture and pests, extending the life of your plants.
  • Safety: Healthy trees are less likely to drop branches, reducing potential hazards for your family and visitors.
  • Eco-Friendly: Using biodegradable sealants aligns with sustainable practices, ensuring you’re protecting the environment while caring for your landscape.
