To promote tree health, our tree surgeons offer crown thinning services to our residential and commercial clients in Chesterfield and the surrounding areas. But there are also several additional advantages associated with this service, which we’ll discuss here. In addition to our tree pruning work, Richwood Tree Services is also widely known for exceptional tree surgery services, tree removals and stump grinding.
Email Us todayCrown thinning is one of our tree care services that involves selectively removing branches from the upper crown of a tree. Also referred to as tree thinning, it offers many benefits for the tree and its environment, and our tree surgeons highly recommend it for tree health improvement.
Dead, diseased, or weakened branches pose a significant safety hazard, especially during storms or high winds. Removing these affected branches reduces the risk of falling limbs or damage to surrounding property. Also, tree thinning lessens the weight of a tree’s uppermost limbs and branches, reducing strain on the truck and root system.
Densely packed branches can cast heavy shade, making the area beneath a tree appear too dark and devoid of natural light. Our selective thinning methods open the tree’s canopy to allow sunlight to filter through, providing several benefits, such as allowing the vegetation beneath to thrive. Not to mention that the tree will look a lot better.
In addition, pitched and flat roofs positioned directly underneath trees can be affected by dampness, moss, and mildew, as natural sunlight can’t access the surfaces to dry them after rainfall. If left to develop, moisture can penetrate the roof of your Chesterfield home or premises and cause internal decorative and structural damage to the property.
Tree surgery plays a crucial role in biodiversity. The increased sunlight penetration created by our thinning methods encourages the growth of ground-level plants, providing food and shelter for birds and other wildlife. This promotes a thriving ecosystem within the tree's immediate vicinity, contributing to the overall development of its environment.
Where natural light is at a premium, branches and limbs will compete for essential nutrients and resources. But this crowding will instead achieve the opposite effect. By strategically removing selected branches, our tree surgeons at Richwood Tree Services can guarantee better airflow, natural light, and the overall health of the tree in question.
