Neglecting overgrown trees can make your property look unkempt, but proactive care ensures your trees remain an asset rather than a liability, providing peace of mind and protecting your home.
Types Of Tree Trimming Services
Crown Thinning
Tree thinning focuses on removing internal growth that crowds the crown, significantly enhancing both the tree’s aesthetic appeal and long-term health. While this process occasionally involves larger limbs, it primarily targets smaller branches known as suckers that can congest the center of the canopy.
Tree thinning offers more than just aesthetic value. It allows light and air to pass through more freely. Which is beneficial not only to the tree, but to any landscapes around the tree.

Tree Pruning
Tree pruning services involve the strategic, targeted removal of specific branches to enhance a tree’s health, safety, and structural integrity. This service addresses various needs, such as removing limbs that encroach on homes, power lines, or roofs, as well as clearing lower branches for pedestrian or vehicle access.
Nearby branches threaten your home during storms and provide easy access for pests like squirrels and rats.
Low hanging limbs are a nuisance when cutting your grass. Much of the time, they also can diminish the aesthetic value to the front of your home.
Crown Reduction
Tree crowning or crown reduction services involves cutting all the branches back on a tree to a selective point. This will reduce the overall size of the tree. Crown reduction is done for a variety of reasons.
For example, as Bradford Pear trees mature, they often require professional crown reduction to manage their excessive branch weight. Their characteristic dense growth habit leads to inward crowding and bark inclusions, making them highly susceptible to splitting during heavy wind storms.
Sometimes trees are planted too close to structures or outgrow their intended space. If you have an ornamental tree in an unfortunate spot, total removal isn’t always necessary. Crown reduction can help keep the tree as a landscape feature without it being a safety hazard or hindrance.
Crown Reduction is a drastic measure that we usually recommend be reserved for the dormant season to minimize tree stress. For some species, it isn’t a viable option at all. Be aware that crowned trees require annual maintenance for the first few years to maintain their aesthetic appeal.
