Let’s clear this up: tree topping is the practice of chopping off the top of a tree to reduce height. Sounds good in theory, but it wrecks the tree. It invites rot, weak growth, and ultimately, more danger.

Proper tree trimming, on the other hand, involves careful cuts that improve structure, health, and appearance. It’s targeted, not reckless.

If someone recommends topping, call us instead. We’ll give you a better, safer option.
