Tree Pruning & Trimming
Tree Pruning & Trimming can be considered both preventative care and routine maintenance. Specific types of pruning may be necessary to maintain the health, safety, and appearance of your trees. A Certified Arborist, with qualified certifications and experience, should assess the amount of trimming and pruning.
Tree Lacing & Thinning
Tree lacing is a method of pruning trees so that the tree allows light and air to flow throughout its canopy or crown. It reduces pest problems and dangerous branches. Tree lacing, in particular, enhances the natural form of a tree.
Tree Reduction
Tree Reduction is a pruning method that reduces a tree’s height or spread. Compared to topping, reduction helps maintain the form and structural integrity of the tree.
Safety Pruning
As a property owner it is crucial to maintain the integrity and health of the trees on your property. From dangerous branches to overgrown root systems, unmanaged trees pose a threat to structures, neighboring properties and guests. A certified arborist will assess each tree and provide reliable guidance on the best way to manage it based on size, species, and proximity to your property. During our visit we will look for signs of weak branches, sprawling roots, cracks, insect infestation and disease. Depending on the extent of the risk we will recommend safety pruning practices that can save thousands of dollars in preventable damage or removals. Safety pruning can help prevent:
- Tree damage during a storm
- Cracked foundation caused by roots or overgrowth
- Cracked sidewalks & driveways
- Damage to your or a neighbors’ property

Tree Topping - Don’t Top Your Trees!
Tree Reduction is often used interchangeably with Topping, but they are not the same! Tree Topping is one of the most harmful tree pruning practices, yet many Tree Service companies still do it; Tree Barber can help reduce the size of the tree using proper Tree Reduction techniques.
