Understanding the Importance of Pruning

Our Tree Pruning Services

Crown Reduction

Ideal for reducing the size of a tree, crown reduction involves shortening branches and removing secondary stems to decrease the tree's height and spread. This technique is particularly useful for trees that have outgrown their space or are too close to structures.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning is the selective removal of branches to reduce density, allowing more light and air to penetrate the canopy. This method improves the tree's health and reduces wind resistance, lowering the risk of storm damage.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting involves removing the lower branches of a tree to increase clearance between the ground and the canopy. This is beneficial for improving visibility, allowing more light into gardens, and providing space for pedestrians and vehicles.
