What Is Canopy or Crown Reduction?
-
Canopy reduction (also called crown reduction) is the process of selectively cutting back the upper limbs of a tree to reduce its overall height or spread. Unlike topping, which can damage trees, crown reduction is done with proper cuts to:
-
Reduce wind resistance during storms
-
Prevent interference with power lines or roofs
-
Improve sunlight penetration
-
Maintain tree structure and health
-
Reduce the risk of falling limbs
We follow ISA arborist guidelines to protect the tree’s long-term health.

Frequently Asked Questions – Canopy Reduction Services
What is canopy reduction?
Canopy reduction is the selective pruning of branches to reduce a tree’s overall height or spread, improving safety, sunlight exposure, and structural integrity without damaging the tree’s health.
Is canopy reduction better than tree topping?
Yes. Canopy reduction is a proper arboricultural practice, while topping is harmful and often leads to disease and instability. We never top trees—our ISA certified arborists use safe, industry-approved techniques.
When is the best time to perform canopy reduction?
Late winter to early spring is often ideal, but it depends on the tree species and its health. We provide expert timing recommendations during your consultation.
Can you reduce the canopy without removing the entire tree?
Absolutely. The goal of canopy reduction is to maintain a healthy, attractive tree while reducing risk or interference with structures or power lines.
