Tree Trimming vs. Tree Topping: One Helps, One Hurts

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