Stop hurting your trees by tree topping. The outcome is not only visually unappealing by typically only leaving the stubs of the branches but it's affecting the tree more than you may think. By topping the tree you are cutting off the tree's ability to make food. It also does not support healthy, natural growth. It's a lazy way to quickly bring the height down. In the long run, it's very ineffective and can put a strain on the tree, causing the tree to go into shock. In a lot of cases, the stress will cause the tree to grow out shoots. These shoots can grow to be just as large as the original height of the tree. Consider tree trimming before topping your trees.
The way to see a tree thrive requires routine maintenance. Just like you take your car into the shop for an oil change, your trees need to be maintained to support healthy growth and sustainability. Our team can carefully take a look at a tree and precisely make cuts that will achieve the goal of redirection and weight reduction while keeping your tree aesthetically pleasing. Your tree will thank you for not giving up by topping the tree.
Tree topping is an unhealthy method that our team will not consider, unless in extreme cases where an alternative method is not attainable. We don't believe in prematurely shortening a tree's life and not allowing the tree a fighting chance. Before you choose to top a tree, give Young’s Seasonal Services a call so one of our skilled arborists is able to walk you through some alternative options such as a good tree trim!
