Crown Cleaning
WHY? Crown cleaning is a pruning technique used when tree branches are diseased, weak, too long, or dead. These conditions can harm the tree's overall structural integrity and may put your landscape’s health at risk. By pruning these problematic sections of the tree, we improve the tree's health and longevity.
WHAT? Our arborists selectively prune deadwood, diseased branches, and dying limbs from the canopy of a tree. We also prune crossing and rubbing limbs that can ruin the tree's shape or open up wounds that leave it vulnerable to pests and diseases.
Crown Raising or Elevating
WHY? Sometimes, tree branches grow too low to the ground or nearby structures, obstructing access to walkways, patios, and drives, creating unusable areas beneath the tree, or casting too much shade.
WHAT? Crown raising (or elevating) involves removing the lower branches to provide clearance from the ground or structure. This helps guide the tree's growth and lifts the limbs off the ground, allowing more sunlight to break through and opening access.

Crown Reduction or Shaping
WHY? When a tree grows too large for the space it's in, grows up into overhead power lines, or develops an unappealing or lopsided shape, then it's time to look at pruning options to reduce the size or reshape the canopy.
WHAT? Crown reduction or shaping consists of decreasing the actual height or spread of a tree.
IMPORTANT NOTE - This is NOT the same thing as tree topping.
It is also important to note which species of trees are better equipped to sustain this type of pruning. Our tree specialists can help you choose the exact type of pruning your trees need most.
Hazardous Tree Pruning
WHY? When branches are decaying or declining, they pose an imminent danger to you and your family. For example, dead branches close to the house, street, or patio/playground can be a major safety hazard. Trees may also have been damaged due to high winds, snow or ice loads, lightning strikes or construction activities.
WHAT? Our team offers on-call emergency hazardous reduction pruning services that can help you maintain your trees and keep you safe.
IMPORTANT NOTE - If you're experiencing a tree emergency, don't wait!
