Tree Pruning Services

Pruning is extremely important for the overall health of your trees. Our staff at J.W. Kolp Tree Service can point you in the right direction as to what type of pruning will benefit them the best. We will also inform of the proper time to complete the pruning. Listed below are several types of pruning.

Our Tree Pruning Services​

CROWN THINNING: Crown thinning is an essential tree pruning procedure that removes smaller, weaker limbs from the tops of your trees. This opens up the tree canopy, allowing more air and light penetration to the branches and leaves below. Crown thinning also lightens larger limbs’ loads, lowering the risk of losing bigger branches in a spring thunderstorm. 

DEAD PRUNING: Removing dead, dying, or diseased branches is an essential part of having trees on your property. Dead pruning not only removes infected limbs, but also improves the appearance of your trees, instantly boosting your property’s curb appeal. Removing all of the dead branches lowers the risk of injury to you and your home. 

CROWN REDUCTION: If your trees’ overall height is a concern, then they’re the perfect candidates for crown reduction. By removing small branches attached to the larger, heavier branches, crown reduction ensures that your trees don’t become too top-heavy. This type of pruning is especially crucial for younger trees, and helps promote the young tree to continue to grow big and strong without all the added weight of smaller branches.

CROWN LIFTING: Crown lifting is the pruning process that removes the low-hanging branches and limbs that are weighing down the higher ones. This process is usually done for trees that overhang sidewalks, roads, or even your home. However, this process is harmful to larger, more mature trees, making it a process intended for younger trees. Crown lifting also allows for your trees to match the rest of your landscaping, leaving them both well-manicured and healthy.
