How Aspen Tree Approaches Pruning

Depending on the tree's needs, our expert crews can employ a variety of pruning strategies to achieve the desired outcome, whether that's pruning for safety, aesthetics, or tree health. Commonly used pruning methods that work well for trees in New Jersey include:

  • 1

    Canopy Raising

    If your lower canopy obstructs access to buildings, obstructs pedestrian paths, or just blocks your view, raising the canopy by pruning will solve the issue.

  • 2

    Canopy Thinning

    Thick canopies can look healthy, but they may be restricting airflow, cause branches to rub and create wounds, or create a risk of damage due to heavy snow or high winds. Thinning the canopy will increase your tree's health and enhance its safety. 

  • 3

    Canopy Reduction

    Sometimes, a tree is too large for its space and requires more than just a trim. If your tree’s overall size threatens power lines or other structures, pruning to reduce the canopy can help.

  • 4

    Canopy Cleaning

    Sometimes, a tree's canopy has diseased, dead, and crowded branches. Pruning these branches from the canopy will improve the tree's health and appearance.
