- Allows for more air flow in the canopy
- Removes dead wood making the tree safer
- Allows the tree to focus its energy on the structural limbs
- Increases property value by keeping the tree healthy and cleared from buildings and drives.
- Allows for more light under the canopy
- Can be done anytime of year (Some exceptions apply.)

Shaping
- Shaping is a different service from pruning.

Don’t top your trees!
