Pruning & Trimming

Crown thinning - we will selectively remove living branches and new growth to maximize light penetration and air flow through the crown of the tree. This procedure reduces the weight on heavy branches, increases water intake, and helps preserve the tree's natural shape.

Crown raising - we will remove the lower branches from a tree to provide needed clearance for structures, vehicles, pedestrians or for aesthetic value.

Crown reduction - our technicians will reduce the size of a tree crown to maintain its natural shape or clear the crown of any utility lines.

Crown restoration - we will remove or trim down carefully chosen branches to restore an appropriate form to a tree, restoring the species' natural shape.

Formative pruning - we typically perform this procedure on young or semi-mature trees. To improve the structural strength of young trees, we will remove or reduce newly grown stems, competing leaders (large trunk-like sections), and crossing or weak branches.

Sanitation pruning - our technicians will remove only branches that are infected with fungi or disease.

Corrective pruning - our technicians will repair various damages caused by previous pruning work, which has resulted in incorrect cuts or stubs that have not healed through the growth of callus (wound wood).
