Side weight reduction on a windswept Pine.

You might notice it's neighbor lost a large limb recently in some high winds. It's our job when we are on your property to look for hazards and things only a trained eye can see. We notified the clients this tree had the potential to fail in high winds. They chose to make it safe while still retaining the shelter belt.

We care for your trees and your safety

Very appreciative for the help on this

Height reductions done right 🌳✂️

Not every tree needs a haircut — but when it does, how it’s done makes a huge difference.

A proper height reduction by an arborist isn’t just “cutting it shorter.” We’re selectively reducing back to natural growth points so the tree keeps its shape, stays healthier, and handles wind better. Done properly, it can extend the life of the tree and reduce risk without turning it into a hedge or a bunch of ugly stubs.

Using machines (like hedge trimmers or saw heads) definitely has its place — they’re great for shelterbelts, farm lines, and situations where speed and uniformity matter more than long-term structure. But on specimen trees around homes? That approach usually leads to fast regrowth, weak attachment, and the need for constant re-trimming… which adds up over time.

If you’re wanting to keep your trees long term, a one-off or occasional arborist reduction is often the better investment compared to yearly machine trimming.

Not sure if your tree actually needs reducing? That’s the first question we ask too. Sometimes a tidy-up or weight reduction is all that’s needed — sometimes it’s best left alone.
