\u2776 Crown Reduction<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Crown reduction is usually reserved for trees that are\novergrown, or too large for the space it is occupying. Also known as \u201cdrop\ncrotch pruning\u201d, this process involves strategically removing limbs and foliage\nin order to relieve an obstruction, or to create more space around a tree. It\nis only recommended for emergency, last resort tree trimming. However, it is a\npopular choice among property owners because it renders a more\nvisually-pleasing appearance compared to tree topping and similar practices.\nAlso, it extends the time period between pruning services, making your\nlandscaping duties less frequent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 Crown Thinning<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Crown thinning is a common pruning technique used to provide\nmore air flow and sunlight through a tree\u2019s canopy. More sun, air, and wind can\nhelp a tree grow stronger and healthier, especially if it was getting too thick\nto adequately disperse sunlight nutrients throughout the tree. Mostly used on\nhardwood trees, like oaks, crown thinning can improve a tree\u2019s structure and\nstability, as well as, make it more resistant to pests. Because it is a complex\nand selective pruning technique, it requires a professional team of tree care\ncontractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 Crown Raising<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to crown thinning, which focuses on a selective\nremoval of inner foliage and limbs, crown raising focuses on the bottom half of\na tree\u2019s canopy for the purpose of providing clearance for pedestrians,\nvehicles, buildings or lines of sight. This practice is often reserved for\ntrees on public or municipal walkways and roads. Generally, the degree of crown\nraising is specified by a municipal ordinance. No more than 35% of a tree\u2019s\ncanopy should be removed during crown raising, which is why it is important to\nhave the service carried out by a trained professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
