Why not to "top" your trees.

Trees live in a symbiotic relationship with us humans. We trade our carbon dioxide and spreading of seed for their shelter, oxygen, and beauty. Because of this close mutualistic relationship and the benefits we gain from trees I only use modern arborist practices that ensure trees and their partners can live long happy lives together.

I make proper cuts to reduce sprouting (and all the corollaries: the ugly 'puff ball" effect, future weak branch junctions and structure, and therefore extensive future storm damage). I use low impact climbing methods to keep your lawn rut-free and topsoil roots aerated. I refrain from "spiking" up living trees to minimize areas of possible pathogen entry. I cut just outside your trees "collar" to ensure the bark can heal over the branch. Thereby preventing rot from infiltrating into the parent branch. I also prune with future growth in mind; redirecting by removing small twigs or branches that may be growing into another tree, power line, or home.

With these practices in hand, years of safe climbing experience and a genuine care for you and your trees I am prepared to do the best possible job at the best possible price.
