Understanding Canopy Weight Reduction

Canopy weight reduction is the strategic removal of branches within a tree’s canopy. This method is often used to prepare trees for strong winds or severe weather conditions. When performed correctly, it reduces strain on the tree, helping it remain stable and resilient. However, improper techniques, such as tree topping, can cause irreversible damage. That is why expert evaluation is essential before making any structural cuts.

At Progression Tree Care, we have the knowledge and experience to determine whether canopy weight reduction will benefit or harm a tree. Every situation is unique, and our team will carefully assess your trees before making recommendations.

Importance of Deadwood Removal in Tree Care

Deadwood removal, also known as dead wooding, involves eliminating dead or decaying branches. If these branches remain on the tree, they will eventually weaken, break off, and pose serious risks. Falling limbs can damage nearby property or cause personal injury, especially in high-traffic areas. Trees located near sidewalks, streets, gardens, or public spaces require regular deadwood removal to prevent accidents.

Unlike pruning, which is often performed during specific seasons, deadwood removal can be done year-round. As branches decay at different rates, regular monitoring and removal help maintain tree health and safety.
