You like your tree, but it has gotten too big. Limbs reach over the roof, the top looks huge in every wind storm, and you wonder if it is too much. You do not want it gone. Toms Tree Services offers crown reduction in Marquette to make the tree smaller while keeping it healthy.
When Do You Need Crown Reduction?
Crown reduction lowers a tree's height or spread by cutting branches back to smaller side branches. It fits trees that have outgrown their space, reach over buildings, or carry long, heavy limbs.
It is not topping. Topping cuts the top off flat, which leaves stubs, weak new growth and a tree that often declines. Crown reduction keeps a natural shape.
In the U.P., heavy lake-effect snow and ice load long limbs all winter. Lake Superior wind storms put big crowns under strain. Reducing the length of heavy limbs can lower that strain.
Not every tree is a good fit. Some trees do not respond well to large cuts, and a tree that is already in poor shape may be better removed. We will tell you what we see.
Crown reduction works best as planned care, not an emergency fix. Many people schedule it in fall and early winter, when leaves are off and the tree's shape is easy to see.
We do crown reduction for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address. Lucas will call you back to set a time to look at the tree.
Then we come out and look at the job. We look at the tree's size, health and shape, and what it hangs over. We talk about how much smaller you want it and how much the tree can handle. We plan cuts back to side branches, not flat stubs.
After that, you get a free estimate. There is no trip fee for the visit and no pressure to say yes. If you want to go ahead, we set up the work with you. When we finish, we clean up the branches.
How Much Does Crown Reduction Cost?
The cost depends on tree size, how much reduction you want, how close the tree is to the house or wires, and access. Climbing work, the gear needed, distance, and cleanup also matter.
The estimate is free, and there is no trip fee. When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers, such as hauling the branches away or chipping them. That way you can pick what fits your needs and budget.
