Raising the canopy
Elevating, sometimes called “canopy raising,” is the act of pruning out the lower branches off the tree. Any trees that block your view, hit your head when you walk under them, or are growing too close to your home or other structure should be elevated.
Improve tree health
Thinning removes certain branches in the canopy, and allows more sunlight and wind to pass through the tree. This makes the tree safer, and less prone to damage from high winds. Thinning should not be overdone, though, so it is important that professional arborists perform this.
Arborist Recommended Pruning
This service includes removing broken, dead, or diseased branches, those with weak junctions or included bark, and other undesirable growth including water spouts and suckers. This is often coupled with a light thinning to redirect a tree’s resources to strong, healthy branches.
