What We Prune For
- Deadwood: Dead and broken branches removed before they fall on cars, patios or people.
- Clearance: Limbs raised or shortened away from roofs, driveways, siding and service lines.
- Structure: Selective thinning and weight reduction on branches with weak attachments or heavy ends.
- Light and Airflow: Opening up dense crowns so the tree and the lawn under it do better.
Pruning Cuts: Good and Bad
| Approach | What it does | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Cut at the branch collar | Leaves a wound the tree can seal | Standard practice on every cut |
| Selective thinning | Reduces weight while keeping the natural shape | Used for crown and structure work |
| Reduction back to a side branch | Shortens a limb without leaving a stub | Used when height or spread must come down |
| Topping | Leaves large wounds and weak regrowth | Not offered |
