Thinking about topping a tree to reduce its height? Talk to us first, it usually causes more problems than it solves.
Greg Smith Tree Service provides proper crown reduction and selective pruning for homeowners throughout Gloucester County, including Vineland, Franklinville, Sewell, Sicklerville, Elmer, Williamstown, and Bridgeton. Topping forces weak, fast-growing shoots at the cut points, which often makes a tree more hazardous over time rather than less.
Our approach reduces height and clearance concerns while keeping the tree structurally sound and healthy for years to come. It takes more skill and care than topping, and it's worth doing right the first time.
If a tree on your property needs height or clearance work, we're glad to walk you through the best approach for that specific tree.
