A big, dense canopy catches wind like a sail, and that's what pulls mature trees over in a hard fall storm.
Crown reduction thins select branches to let wind pass through the canopy instead of pushing against it, easing strain on the trunk and root system without giving the tree a hacked, unnatural shape.
It's different from topping, which weakens a tree long term. Our ISA certified arborists reduce crown density selectively, working to ANSI A300 pruning standards on every job across Englewood, Denver, and the surrounding area.
If a large shade tree on your property has never had its canopy thinned, late summer is a good time to have it looked at before wind season picks up.
