The most competitively priced tree work on the web
Reduce potential hazardous conditions in trees and improve tree structure by:
Live branches greater than 3 inches diameter should not be removed unless no alternative is available.
Dead branches greater than 1.5 inch diameter measured at the base of the branch shall be removed over targets.
Remove no more than 30 percent of live foliage from any tree unless safety is an issue.
Crossing and rubbing branches to be removed or reduced.
Remove branches by cutting back to the collar. Do not damage the branch collar or branch bark ridge at the base of branches.
Weight on main scaffold limbs with included bark shall be reduced by approximately one-third by removing some live secondary branches toward the ends of the Limbs and/or by removing the end of the branch using a reduction cut.
Identify those trees that have included bark in the crotches between co-dominant stems and in the crotches of large branches. Make a note of these on the site map. These trees will be evaluated by an ISA Certified arborist for possible cabling, pruning or other treatments. Cabling will be performed under separate contract. Identify limbs and trunks with vertical cracks or other potentially hazardous conditions. Make a note of these conditions on the site map.
If less than 20 percent of the foliage was removed on a tree following procedure 2, thin the canopy to allow more light to reach the ground under the tree and to help reduce damage from sail effect. The branches removed shall be taken primarily from the outer edge of the canopy, not from the interior.
Crowns of trees that were lopped or topped will be restored to improve structure and form. Remove or shorten all sprouts. Try to maintain one, which will become the dominant stem at that point. You may remove up to 20 percent of the foliage when performing this work.
