Tree Care and Trimming

CROWN REDUCTION

Is most often used when a tree has grown too large for its permitted space.

This method is preferred to topping as it results in a more natural appearance, 

increases the time before pruning is needed again and minimizes stress.

CROWN THINNING

Is the selective removal of stems and branches to increase light penetration and air movement throughout the tree. The intent is to improve a tree's structure and form while making life uncomfortable for tree pests.

CROWN LIFTING

Is the removal of lower branches from a tree to provide clearance to

pedestrians, vehicles, buildings or lines of sight.

CROWN CLEANING

Is important for tree maintenance.

It is the removal of potentially hazardous or dead limbs from a tree.

Dead wood is a haven for insects, fungus and disease, so removal is essential for tree health.

STUMP GRINDING

Is a method of reducing a stump and its roots to a pile of wood chips.

TREE PLANTING

Is not as simple as most people believe.

Trees should be planted during the right seasons as the wrong climate may stress the plant.

Choosing a suitable tree for the region, climate and space, is essential.

TREE REMOVAL

Is used as a last resort when a tree is dead, diseased or too close to a building.
