- Interior Thinning: The goal of this type of pruning is to improve the tree's access to sunlight. It can significantly improve the tree's strength against wind and ice.
- Elevating: This means removing limbs in contact with the ground or causing obstructions. If the tree is located along the streets or in public areas, it may need to be elevated to avoid impending access around the tree.
- Shaping: This is one of the most basic pruning services we offer. The aim is to restore the tree's natural appearance. Landscape trees typically grow in all directions because they don't have to compete with other trees for sunlight and nutrients. This is why landscape trees are prone to overgrowing. Regular pruning will prevent the tree from growing excessively.
- Clearing Branches from Structures: This kind of pruning is essential if the tree is in contact with or encroaches on nearby structures, such as power lines. If we don't prune these trees immediately, it could lead to safety hazards. Consequently, if a tree in contact with a structure causes damage, it will deny the homeowner's insurance policy.
- Crown Reduction: This essential pruning technique involves reducing both the width and height of the tree, which is particularly vital for trees prone to storm damage.
- Topping: We never recommend this type of pruning to our clients. Inexperienced and amateur tree companies often resort to topping, a harmful practice that poses significant risks to tree health and structure. Topping can lead to the tree's decline or death, and even if it survives, it will likely develop an unnatural form that persists throughout its lifespan.
