Benefits of Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is a great way to control height and weight in saplings as well as mature specimens. Our crew expertly removes portions of the structure of the plant in order to reduce strain on branches and to shape future growth. Eliminating dead wood, water sprouts and branches clustered too closely allows the tree to direct spring growth toward desirable limbs. The goal in this process is to never remove more than 25 percent of the total canopy, which is the plant’s source of food and energy. Topping trees puts severe strain on the plants, and we always recommend crown reduction as an alternative to this destructive method. We can also reshape the structure of your specimen to preserve clearance for pedestrians, vehicles or equipment.
