Milpitas homeowners need to understand tree trimming. You might have a big tree that is too close to your house. It could be blocking a view as well as looking a bit wild. You want this tree trimmed, and you want it done right. There are two main ways people do this work. One of these ways is a bad idea for your trees, even if it seems cheap at first.
We are talking about tree topping versus proper crown reduction. Our team has been in the Milpitas Tree Service business here in Milpitas for many years. We have seen good work, bad work, as well as very bad work when it comes to how trees are treated. We will explain these two approaches. This will help you make the best decision for your property as well as your trees in Milpitas.
What Is Tree Topping?
You have probably seen tree topping. You might not have known what it was called. Tree topping is when someone cuts off the top of a tree's main branches. This often leaves big, ugly stubs. Think of it like giving your tree a very blunt haircut. The goal of tree topping is usually to quickly reduce the tree's height as well as its spread.
