Tree Crowning Helps Your San Diego Trees Thrive
Coastal Tree Care Provides Superior Crowning and Pruning Services
There are many reasons that your arborist may recommend tree crowning to thin out the top layers of trees on your property. Benefits of targeted pruning include the following:
- Brings in more sunlight and air
- Removes dead and damaged branches
- Stimulates production of flowers and fruit
- Increases the tree’s yield
- Useful for trees overhanging pathways, or next to buildings
- Creates an aesthetically pleasing shape
Many property owners in the San Diego area have gorgeous hardwood trees that have survived on their property for decades. With tree crowning and pruning services from Coastal Tree Care, your trees can maintain their beauty and shape for years to come.
Types of Tree Crowning Services Available
Using different methods allows us to shape your tree to create space on the ground, improve visibility, increase light penetration, and manage the progression of the tree trunk and main branches.
Our arborists offer the following tree crowning services in San Diego:
- Crown Cleaning. If you have damaged, dead, or diseased branches, it’s important to remove them promptly. This promotes the health of your trees.
- Crown Thinning. When we thin out a tree crown, it limits the number of crossover branches competing for space in the canopy. Crown thinning also increases light penetration and airflow and promotes safety for anyone under the tree.
- Crown Raising. Also known as crown lifting, this process involves removing lower branches for better clearance for trees located along pathways, sidewalks, and public areas.
- Crown Reduction. To maintain your trees at an ideal height, we can reduce the crown using specialized equipment and techniques.
DIY Tree Crowning Gone Wrong
Both hardwoods and evergreens do well in San Diego’s mild climate. So, it’s no wonder that many trees require frequent crowning to live their best lives. If you have attempted to prune your trees, you already know it can be challenging. Incorrect techniques or using the wrong equipment can also damage your trees. Don’t worry, our skilled arborists can train your tree back into a more natural shape.
If possible, curb the urge to prune your heritage trees. Although effective, crown restoration can take some time to bring your tree back to its natural glory. Our team has years of experience in tree conservation, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
