Crown reduction

Reducing a crown's height and spread while keeping a natural shape.

Crown reduction reduces the overall height and spread of a tree while keeping its natural shape. It’s ideal for trees that have become too large for their setting, are casting too much shade, or are putting stress on nearby structures.

By carefully shortening branches back to suitable growth points, we lower the tree’s wind sail and weight without the harsh, damaging look of topping — keeping it healthy, balanced and safe. A great option for keeping a mature tree you’d rather not lose.
