We at Edison Tree Service know that removing a tree is a big decision and should not be taken lightly. Trees are also f$%^&*g heavy and can do major damage if not done in a safe and strategic way.
The methods used to remove trees vary from tree to tree. Care must be taken into account as all trees and environments are different. Factors such as tree size, shape, age, and whether the tree has been damaged by rotting or insect infestation all play an important role in the decision making when it comes to felling a tree. Hacking away and yelling “timber” is not advised because removing a tree is a big and dangerous task, so call in an expert for the safety of people and environments.
Tree Trimming the Edison Tree Service Way
Tree trimming, thinning, or selective pruning of branches to improve and balance the tree’s natural architecture and scaffold structure. Trimming is used to increase the penetration of light to the lower levels and the ground below as well as to improve the circulation of air within the crown of the tree – all things you left behind in high school biology class, but consideration we have to deal with daily in order to increase the life and health of earth’s wonders and to maintain the beauty of the world around us. The correct application of thinning will also reduce the weight on heavy branches and help retain a tree’s natural shape and form.
Tree thinning is also used to prevent branches from rubbing and damaging siding, gutters, roofs, wires, and building facades.
Reduction Pruning by Edison Tree Service
Reduction pruning reduces the size of a tree and is often performed under electrical transmission service wires. This is a delicate job, best accomplished by cutting back scaffold leaders and branch terminals to secondary branches, all while trying not to get electrocuted or cause a disruption of electrical service to nearby homes.
The industry standard maintains that secondary branches are at least 1/3 the diameter of the stem being cut. Otherwise, the branches may not remain viable. Arborists take note – this should not be confused with lopping – which generally occurs when branches are cut back internodally – or to lateral branches that are not large enough to sustain the remaining branch – all fancy ways of saying, The Pros of Edison Tree Service know our trees! We are tree huggers for a living, after all!

Stump Removal & Stump Grinding
Leaving a stump behind can be a safety hazard, an invitation to freeloading termites and other insects, and can become an unsightly array of wood fungi and half-hearted regrowth. Grinding your stump is recommended, plus it’s fun to watch the chips fly as our equipment blazes through anything in its path.
The Difference Between Tree Pruning and Tree Lopping
Knowing where and when to make a pruning cut can also significantly reduce the risk associated with trees. Many tree loppers make incorrect pruning cuts which often puts undue stress and strain on a tree causing irreparable damage and rapid decline in the health and life of a tree.
The industry standard for retention trees calls for limiting the removal of a tree’s crown to less than 20% during any 12 month period. Excessive pruning will deplete a tree of its stored energy which can cause a rapid decline in its health and vitality.
Excessive Tree Lopping Causes Problems
If you cut more than 50% of the tree canopy it could starve the tree. Excessive lopping also generally causes the tree to go into survival mode – which promotes quick regrowth, but results in weakly attached and often crowded regrowth. This causes a ripple effect in years to come, when the tree reaches its pre-lopped height, as the regrowth may be too weak to sustain its weight. Lopped trees can also be unattractive and also more susceptible to insect infestation and fungal growth.
