Tree Topping Services in theDallas-Fort Worth Area

When trees have been planted improperly, or nearby development alters a tree’s growth space, tree topping can become necessary. Tree topping is a form of extreme pruning, where large swaths of branches are removed to alter a tree’s growth patterns. Because of the sheer amount of material taken off during tree topping, it’s a process that can be extremely stressful to a tree’s health. Still, sometimes, despite the harmful side-effects, there isn’t any good way to avoid topping a tree. Some situations that demand tree topping include:

• Misaligned Center of Gravity: If trees have been previously topped improperly, or have restricted growth space, their center of gravity can become misaligned. An expert tree topping can correct this imbalance and avoid dangerous instability.
• Excessive Bending: If your tree has been bending too much during high winds, it may be because your trunk to branch ratio is off. A targeted tree topping will reduce the number of heavy branches your tree has to support and increase stability.
• Interference: Power lines, construction, expanded roads, and other trees can get in the way of a tree’s natural growth space. Rather than remove a problem tree, an expert topping gives the tree a chance to regrow in a more convenient shape.
