Tree trimming classifications

Crown Cleaning

Crown cleaning a trees tops consists of trimming dead & diseased limbs, excess branches, and crossing or rubbing limbs out of the outer rim or crown of a tree..

Trim Deadwood & Diseased Limbs

One of the most common and natural techniques of tree trimming, is trimming the deadwood out of a tree tops. Trimming out the dead and diseased limbs from a tree is good for the health of the tree.

Interior Thinning

Thinning can help reduce wind resistance in a tree, thus reducing the chances of a wind storm blowing over a tree. It can also increase sunlight for your grass to grow. Tree Trimmers must be careful not to cut too much and form what is called a Lion Tail, where a limb has no foliage except on the very ends.

Elevating

Elevating the lower limbs on a tree is necessary at times when limbs are encroaching on a structure, hang low over a sidewalk or road, or hang low over the grass, etc.

Shaping

Shaping a tree is a method performed usually by pole clips or shears and involves trimming the entire canopy all the way around the circumference to form a nice round shape.

Clearing Limbs Away from a Structure

Clearing tree limbs away from your house or structure is a very common task. The branches should be cut properly, back to the nearest lateral limb just outside the branch collar. Generally, clearing limbs away from a structure is completed by certain footage effective to clear the structure but at the same time not harming the tree and keeping its structural integrity.

Crown Reduce

Crown Reduction is usually performed on a tree that is prevalent to storm damage, leaning toward a structure, or a tree that has outgrown the area it was planted in. Drop Crotch trimming is an acceptable method that results in a crown reduction by cutting the longest ‘terminal’ branch on a limb, and leaving the shorter ones on that same branch.

Natures Cut

A Nature’s cut involves taking the top or canopy out of the tree for safety concerns. Generally a large dead tree that is in close proximity of a structure or in a highly occupied area are candidates for a Natures cut. Most of the time, a 20-25’ spar is left standing for the nature to use. The spar that is left standing should be left at a height that is less than the total distance to a structure or area to maintain safety in case it falls.
