Going Above and Beyond

On this property there were two maples that took the cake. The general shape was natural these trees were simply in need of a nice hair cut.

This is where my arborist brain had to go to work. There is an art and science to how to approach situations like this. 

My philosophy has always been to treat pruning like a hair cut not a buzz cut. 

We are not going for high and tight.

The after photo shows how we pruned back a few of the tips to balance out the tree's canopy. The tree pruning techniques we used were tip reduction and canopy thinning. What is great about this pruning is we are not going to have to revisit these trees for a few years now.
