We provide aftercare instructions and can schedule follow-up visits to monitor the tree's response and perform any necessary maintenance pruning.
Crown Reduction Pruning — Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, we recommend reducing no more than 25-30% of the crown in a single session to maintain tree health. Larger reductions may require multiple sessions over several years.
The best time varies by species, but generally late fall through early spring is ideal when trees are dormant, avoiding the stress of growing season and reducing disease risk.
Crown reduction temporarily reduces size but doesn't stop growth. Trees will continue growing, so periodic maintenance pruning every 3-5 years helps maintain the desired size and shape.
