Seattle Light Penetration Pruning

In Seattle, dense tree canopies and lush vegetation can create beautiful landscapes, but they can also lead to light penetration issues. When trees and shrubs grow too close together or become overgrown, they can block sunlight from reaching your garden and home, affecting plant health and your overall enjoyment of the space. The good news is that light penetration pruning can help solve this problem. By selectively trimming branches and foliage, you can enhance sunlight exposure, improve curb appeal, and create a safer, more eco-friendly outdoor environment—all while reducing long-term maintenance needs.

• Thinning: Removing unnecessary limbs to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.
• Shaping: Maintaining the natural shape of trees and shrubs while ensuring they do not obstruct light.
