Trees are our future. They should be cared for in a way that will insure their health and longevity while adding beauty and value for their owners.
In the urban landscape we strive to maximize the genetic potential of trees by pruning as a corrective or preventative measure. Since each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree, our goal in pruning is to produce healthy, structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing trees. We believe that a tree must be representative of its species and should be cared for as the individual species dictates. We adhere to industry endorsed and accepted standards for tree care and safety. We want you to understand and appreciate the differences in pruning methodology and techniques, which include:
Crown Cleaning
The removal of dead, dying, diseased, split, broken, crowded, crossing, and weakly attached branches and water sprouts from a tree's canopy.
Crown Thinning
The selective removal of branches and foliage to increase light penetration to plantings beneath and provide for air filtration throughout the canopy of a tree. This is significant in reducing the windsail effect and incidences of breakage due to wind resistance. This procedure will reduce the mass of the tree while still maintaining it's natural shape.
Crown Reduction/Shaping
The reduction of the height and/or spread of a tree or branch
by pruning back to a lateral branch that is large enough to assume the new leader role. This procedure reduces the weight of limb ends to minimize chances of breakage. Compared to topping, this helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree.
Crown Raising
The removal of lower branches from a tree to clear space for buildings, vehicles, pedestrians, buildings and views.
Tree Removal
This is a dangerous process and should be done by a trained insured professional. A tree should be removed when it is dead, dying or diseased and poses a threat to your family, home or property.
Stump Grinding
Tree stumps can be unsightly, difficult to mow or landscape around, and they can potentially attract termites and other insects. Grinding stumps is a simple process that can be complete in a few hours. Our state-of-the-art stump grinders create minimal impact to your landscape.
