As third-generation arborists, we approach every pruning cut with purpose
Whether your goal is improving tree health, reducing risk over your home, restoring storm-damaged limbs, or enhancing the natural structure of a young tree, our Certified Arborists deliver precision from the ground to the canopy.
When pruning is done correctly, it’s not just maintenance, it’s long term planning for the health and safety of your tree.
Crown cleaning is the most common pruning service we provide.
It focuses on:
• Removing dead branches
• Eliminating diseased tissue
• Addressing crossing or interfering limbs
• Raising canopy for clearance
• Creating safe spacing from structures
This improves safety while preserving the tree’s natural form.
Deadwooding focuses specifically on removing dead limbs.
Ideal for:
• Healthy trees with isolated dead branches
• Trees with visible dieback
• Preventative maintenance before storm season
Dead tissue is brittle and unpredictable. Removing it reduces hazard potential .
Structural pruning is essential for young trees.
It establishes:
• Strong central leaders
• Proper branch spacing
• Balanced growth habit
• Long term structural stability
Correct early pruning reduces costly future corrections.
Reduction pruning is used primarily in mature trees.
It involves:
• Reducing leverage on heavy limbs
• Shortening overextended branches
• Decreasing risk rating
• Managing canopy size responsibly
This technique redistributes weight rather than removing excessive interior foliage .
Vista pruning improves sightlines without compromising health.
Common applications:
• Opening views from patios or porches
• Improving security camera visibility
• Clearing visual obstructions
This requires precision and restraint to avoid unnecessary removal .
Canopy restoration is used after:
• Storm damage
• Improper topping
• Severe structural injury
The goal is to preserve the tree when possible and guide regrowth responsibly.
Not every damaged tree needs removal. Restoration can often extend life and reduce risk.
We also perform:
• Pollarding
• Espalier pruning

These techniques are species specific and require professional guidance .
