What tree lopping entails
Lopping is the precise cutting back of large limbs and crown sections — the heavier work that goes beyond a routine trim. Our climbers remove weight from storm-stressed leaders, clear branches pressing on roofs, gutters and power lines, and rebalance lopsided crowns so the tree grows evenly.
Every cut is planned: we rig heavy limbs down on ropes rather than dropping them, protect the garden below, and finish with clean cuts that heal fast. You get a safer tree and a yard full of light, not a pile of debris.

Our lopping process
Heavy limbs, handled methodically — no drops, no damage, no surprises.
Climb & plan
We climb, map every cut and set rigging points before a saw starts.
Rig & lower
Limbs come down on ropes, steered clear of roofs, lines and gardens.
Shape the crown
Reduction cuts rebalance the canopy for healthy, even regrowth.
Chip & rake
Everything is chipped, raked and hauled — the yard is left clean.
