Tree Canopy Lift

Tree canopy lifting is a vital tree maintenance technique that improves the health, stability and aesthetic appeal of your tree.

A local arborist and skilled lopper from Real Tree Trimming & Landscaping, Inc. can effectively raise the canopy by pruning and cutting back selective branches at the tree's base to improve the clearance between the ground and the tree's lower branches.

When pruning lower branches is done properly, more light can travel through the tree and access the grass, garden, and plants below. This not only encourages the growth and well-being of the rest of your garden but also improves the amount of light that enters your home.

Lessening the lower branches reduces the clutter of fallen dead branches and leaves on your property, encourages healthy vertical growth, and assists balance your tree to avoid any uneven or unsafe growth.

Experience all these benefits with our professional tree canopy lifting services. Call us for a free quote today.

Hedge Trimming

Pruning and clipping are required to have a clean, weed-free yard with well-kept hedges. And we're here to keep your hedges trimmed and in good shape.

There are various types of hedges, and we know how to tend to each one's unique demands. Seasonal fluctuations have an impact on growth patterns, and we take all of these elements into account when working with your hedges.
