In these photos we are doing a crown reduction to a mature maple tree. A co-dominate split in the trunk and a few cavities in the larger branches warranted a need for...
This is one of the most asked questions us arborists deal with. The answer is simple… When the tree is dormant. Or otherwise when the leaves fall off. This time adds the least amount of stress to the tree when it is trimmed. And more importantly, if your...
At this site we were called in by one of our regular landscaping contractors. It wasn’t one of our most desirable cities to work in with the distance or traffic involved. The job called for 3 spruce removals and one rather large silver maple. I never saw this...
