Seattle Thin dense canopies

In Seattle, the lush greenery that surrounds us can sometimes lead to an issue: thin, dense canopies that block sunlight, create excess moisture, and can be a safety hazard with falling branches. Fortunately, the solution is simple—regular canopy management through trimming and thinning. This service not only enhances your yard’s curb appeal but also promotes safety, supports eco-friendliness, and reduces maintenance needs over time.

Key Benefits
