Precision Pruning for Health, Safety, and Beauty
Tree pruning is more than cutting branches—it's a science. Our experts use proven arboricultural techniques to improve tree structure, longevity, and appearance while minimizing stress to the tree.
- Crown Cleaning: Removal of dead, dying, or diseased branches to improve tree health and appearance.
- Crown Thinning: Selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air circulation.
- Crown Reduction: Reducing the overall size of the tree while maintaining its natural shape.
- Vista Pruning: Selective pruning to enhance views while preserving tree health.
- Coastal Wind and Preparation Pruning: Strengthen trees and reduce wind resistance, ideal for withstanding Newport's coastal climate.
All pruning is performed in accordance with ANSI A300 standards, ensuring your trees receive professional, responsible care.
