Tree Trimming

Do I need my trees pruned?

The most common types of pruning of your trees are:

  • Drop crotch pruning
    • Drop crotch pruning keeps the natural look of the tree. It decreases the overall size of the tree. Branches are pruned to a natural crotch (branch) rather than cut back to a stub. Then the remaining branches become leaders. Drop crotch pruning is always preferable to topping a tree.
  • Structural pruning
    • Structural pruning should continue for 25 years after planting. For most of our local trees, structural pruning is based around a single stem.


Whether drop crotch pruning and structural pruning, Doleva Elite Tree will use the best techniques for your crown reduction, canopy raising, allowing sun and wind to pass through the trees or roof and structure clearance.

Crown Raising

Raising is done to clear sidewalks, streets, houses and buildings from encroaching branches. This is referred to a raising the tree's canopy.

Crown Reduction

Crown Reduction reduces the size of a tree's canopy by pruning. Crown Reduction is often done to reduce the weight of limbs or to shape a tree.

Crown Thinning

Crown Thinning removes small branches throughout the interior of a tree. Thinning reduces weight and allows wind to flow through to prevent a tree from uprooting, and allows sunlight to pass through onto the yard.

Crown Clearing

Crown Clearing removes damaged or dead branches from a tree's canopy.

Weather it is crown reduction, canopy raising, allowing sun and wind to pass through the trees or roof and structure clearance, you can be assured our tools are sanitized, our cuts are proper, and when needed, our wounds are treated.
