Frequently Asked Questions

When you hire an ISA Certified Arborist, you know that they have put in the time and effort to become knowledgeable in all aspects of agriculture. This includes tree biology, identification, safety, pruning methods, lightning protection systems, cabling and bracing systems, tree selection for urban use, tree selection for landscapes, diagnosing tree disorders, and tree risk assessment. You can be confident that they will provide the best possible care for your trees.

Topping a tree is often sold to the homeowner as a way to reduce the size of the tree, open up the view, and make it safer. 

However, the reality is the exact opposite.

After topping, the tree will quickly grow back to the same size (or even larger) but will have lost its natural shape (the word "ugly" comes to mind) and the new growth will be weaker and poorly attached to the trunk (making the tree more dangerous). Add to that the fact that the large, non-selective heading cuts made when topping the tree don't heal well (leading to rot, disease, and insect infestations) and you have a recipe for disaster.
