Proper tree pruning improves the health and longevity of a tree in countless ways; however, improper pruning results in just the opposite. Incorrect cuts can leave a tree vulnerable to disease, pest infestations, and structural damage causing trees to become a hazard to people and surrounding structures. Pruning is permanent and cuts cannot be undone. This is why our certified arborists are educated and receive periodic training in proper pruning procedures so our customers receive the full benefit of regular tree pruning.
Be wary of a company suggesting crown reduction by topping or removing more than 25% of the tree's foliage as they're likely attempting to earn your business with low prices by performing a quick job. If your work isn't performed by a certified arborist, you may end up paying for techniques like these which will cost you much more in the future.
