Seattle Crown reduction

If you’re a homeowner or property manager in Seattle, you may have noticed the challenges that come with maintaining the crown of your trees. Overgrown branches can obstruct views, pose safety hazards, and detract from your property’s curb appeal. The solution? Crown reduction. This professional tree service not only enhances the aesthetics of your landscape but also contributes to the safety and health of your trees. By choosing crown reduction, you’ll enjoy a beautiful, low-maintenance yard that’s eco-friendly and ready for HOA inspections.


Description & Benefits

What the service includes

Crown reduction is a tree trimming technique that involves selectively removing branches to reduce the overall size of the tree while maintaining its natural shape. This process includes:

  • Assessment: A certified arborist will evaluate the tree’s health and structure.
  • Trimming: Carefully cutting back the branches to reduce height and spread.
  • Thinning: Removing excess branches to improve air circulation and light penetration.
  • Shaping: Ensuring the tree retains its natural form after reduction.

Key benefits

  • Enhanced Appearance: A well-maintained tree improves the visual appeal of your property.
  • Durability: Proper crown reduction strengthens the tree, making it less susceptible to storm damage.
  • Safety: Reducing overhanging branches minimizes the risk of falling limbs, which can cause injury or damage.
  • Eco-Friendly: Healthy trees contribute to cleaner air and improved biodiversity in your yard.
