Tree trimming may be a better option than removal if the tree only has minor issues. Trimming a tree helps the health and growth of the tree by allowing more sunlight and wind. Trees should be trimmed every 3-5 years to remove dead, broken, or crowded branches.
There are 4 Different Types of Tree Trimming:
- Cleaning: Removing the dead or small overgrown branches of the tree’s trunk
- Thinning: Removing crowded branches throughout the tree
- Raising: Removing the lower branches of the canopy
- Reduction: Reducing the size of the canopy by trimming the top and sides
