TREE TOPPING

Mature trees are topped by chopping off their tops, leaving the surviving top branches as stubs. This weakens trees and their branches, posing a possible hazard. When trees have their leafy crowns removed, the trees appear barren and unnatural.

Other terms for topping includes:

Heading
Giving tips
Stubbing
Horning
Hat-racking
Turning the corner

Why Top Trees?

Reducing the size of a tree on their property because they feel it has grown too big or that it could become a future concern is one of the main reasons a homeowner wants it topped. Regretfully, the topping technique will ultimately raise risk rather than decrease it and is not practical for reducing the height of the tree.

People frequently decide to top trees because they desire to:

Prevent trees from obstructing electrical lines
Stop large trees from toppling down during a storm
Reduce the height of nearby trees to improve their view

Trimming Is a Healthier Option Than Tree Topping

Oversized trees can only be temporarily solved by topping, which can ultimately prove to be an expensive error. In order to survive, the tree will either require special care or eventually need to be removed. However, pruning is the right technique to take care of your tree and keep it healthy. Removing certain branches to benefit the tree as a whole is called trimming. Maintaining proper yard trimming will help your landscape flourish and look its best.

Advantages of Trimming Trees

When trimming involves taking out branches that are diseased, infected, or obstructing the tree's ability to develop healthily, it's sometimes referred to as pruning.

The following are some advantages of trimming:

Healthier trees: Removing overgrowth makes trees stronger and enhances the chance that they will survive.
Hazard prevention: By cutting off branches and limbs appropriately, you lessen the chance that they will fall and endanger your family or damage your house and belongings.
Less expensive: You will save money by avoiding risks to people and your property.
Early diagnosis of tree problems: Regular tree pruning can aid in the early detection of any problems or diseases that require treatment; the earlier they are discovered, the better.
Increased sun exposure: Pruning trees promotes better air circulation and sun exposure, which both enhance the health of trees and landscapes.
Increased property value: Homeowners love properties with attractive, healthy trees, and if you want to sell, this will add value to your residence.
