The Science of Wind Reduction Pruning (ANSI A300 Standards)
A dense, unpruned hardwood canopy acts like a massive sail in 60+ mph storm winds. The wind exerts thousands of pounds of lateral force on the upper trunk and root plate. By selectively removing interior crossing branches and thinning secondary foliage compliant with ANSI A300 standards, wind passes freely through the crown, dramatically reducing trunk stress.
We Never 'Top' Trees: Tree topping is destructive malpractice that causes weak, rapid sucker growth. We perform proper selective crown thinning that maintains tree health and natural architectural form.
