TREE TRIMMING METHODS
​
Crown Cleaning
Crown Cleaning a tree involves pruning the deadwood, diseased, and dying limbs out of the canopy of a tree. This type of pruning is extremely beneficial for the health and promotes longevity for a tree.
Crown Thinning
Crown Thinning a tree involves lightly pruning the interior limbs of a tree canopy. Generally, this is done to achieve more sunlight on a customer’s lawn, or to prevent storm damage. Lightly thinning the interior allows for wind flow to better flow through the canopy, thus reducing chances of limb failure in a storm. Usually, it is recommended to only cut approximately 10-15% of the live growth in the interior and to avoid lion tailing.
​
Crown Raising
Crown Raising a tree involves elevating or cutting the lower limbs of a tree canopy. This type of pruning is usually done to achieve visibility, or to allow lawn mowers to be able to mow grass underneath without a tree limb in the way, or anything else such as cars and people to be able to pass underneath the tree's canopy.
Crown Reduce
Crown Reducing a tree involves lightly thinning out the top of the canopy of a tree. Do not mistake this for tree topping. Topping is NOT a recommended pruning method and should be avoided. A proper crown reduction will reduce the overall crown height and canopy, without altering branch integrity. This type of pruning minimized storm damage and reduces the chances that larger taller trees from falling or uprooting in a storm.
Clearance Pruning
Clearance pruning a tree involves cutting the limbs of a tree away from a structure by a certain number of feet. Proper cuts should be made according to ANSI standards, always cut back to the nearest lateral growth, never cut in the middle or inter-node of a branch. Clearance pruning is usually done to clear houses, roofs, sheds, cars, and such of encroaching limbs.

Significant limb or tree top failure Some trees can survive a large limb or top failure but sometimes the failure compromises the overall structure or health of the tree.
Disease or pest infestation: Some pests and disease can be abated, but there are times when the infection is too widely spread to salvage the tree or its health has been significantly compromised with no hope of recovery.
Proximity to home and another hardscape: Often young trees are planted too close to the home, sidewalk, or another hardscape with no thought to the future size of the tree. In some instances, it is possible to trim or root prune a tree to limit the intrusion. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to trim the offending tree without significantly compromising its health and/or structure.

Removing a tree is a delicate operation and requires skill, precision, and the right equipment. Depending on the location of your tree we may use a bucket truck or crane to assist in the removal. Depending on the landscape and hardscape below your tree the limbs will be lowered down with ropes and pulleys to ensure no damage is done to landscape and hardscape below. Not all trees are located in an area that can be accessed by this equipment. When a tree is not accessible by trucks and cranes our crew is trained to use ropes and saddle to climb into the tree and trim it from within the canopy. Again, ropes and pulleys are used to prevent damage to the landscape and hardscape below the tree.

Decrease risk of storm damage with tree maintenance
Also referred to as preventative pruning or structural pruning, regular tree maintenance can reduce the chance of damage to your trees. How? By removing weak, dead or dying branches before they have a chance to break.
Crown cleaning and crown reduction lessen wind resistance by removing small branches to allow wind to more easily pass through the crown of a tree. Trees can topple when the crown is so thick that the wind can't pass through it so instead, the wind pushes over the entire tree. It makes sense for homeowners to invest in regular maintenance pruning for the trees on your property now as it can save you stress, time and money when damage is avoided later.
