Professional Pruning
Cleaning
Removal of dead, dying, diseased, weakly attached, and low-vigor branches from the crown of a tree.
Density Reduction
Thinning of foliage at the crown periphery to increase wind and light penetration and promote interior foliage development.
Hedge Trimming
Hedges can act as a windbreak and provide privacy. Routine maintenance allows hedges to maintain their shape.
L / T / D
A comprehensive clean-up of the tree including lifting the canopy, thinning the foliage, and removing dead and unhealthy branches.
Line Clearing And Utility Work
Arborists work with utility companies to trim branches away from communication, secondary, primary, and transmission lines.
Raising
Removing the lower branches from a tree to provide clearance for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, and vistas.
Reduction
Reducing a tree’s height or spread by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to strong secondary branches while maintaining structural integrity. Reduction is healthy alternative to the harmful practice of topping.
Structural Pruning
Establishment of a strong scaffold structure in a young tree: a central trunk with sturdy, well-spaced branches. A properly pruned young tree will grow into a mature tree that requires minimal maintenance.
