No Tree Topping

Tree topping is an unacceptable pruning practice and should be avoided at all costs. It not only makes trees unsightly but also creates hazards -- topped trees are prone to breaking and are a potenital liability. When a tree's height must be reduced, please contact an arborist and follow the recommended techniques of branch clearance and crown reduction.
