Tree pruning involves cutting selective branches off of a tree for whatever the reason. It could be a limb that is too close to your home or all the branches that are too close to the ground.

Tree crowning is cutting all the branches back on a tree to a selective point. This is done for aesthetic reasons or for the overall health of the tree. Bradford Pear Trees, for example must be crowned when they get to a certain size because the weight of their branches becomes too much for the tree and they break during wind storms.

Trimming trees the right way takes a great deal of knowledge and experience to do correctly. We use leveraging systems to pull large branches away from your home and we never wear gaffs when trimming your trees. Gaffs pierce through the bark of a tree to assist in climbing but leave pathways for bugs and fungi to enter the tree and cause damage. It also promotes growth where you don’t want it. We use a throw line to install ropes so our climbers can enter the tree without harming it. From there your tree rigged and cut so your final product is a beautiful tree that compliments your home.
