Your tree is so thick that grass will not grow under it and the house stays dark. In a wind storm, the whole top sways like a sail. You do not want it smaller, just less dense. Toms Tree Services offers crown thinning in Marquette to open the tree up while keeping its size and shape.
When Do You Need Crown Thinning?
Crown thinning removes select branches from inside the crown. It does not make the tree shorter. It fits trees with crowded, crossing or rubbing branches, and trees that block too much light.
Signs a tree may need thinning: thin grass or moss under it, branches rubbing together, a crown so dense you cannot see through it, or a tree that catches a lot of wind.
In the U.P., Lake Superior wind storms push hard on dense crowns. A thinned crown lets some wind pass through. Heavy lake-effect snow also builds up on thick branches.
More is not better. Taking out too much leaves long bare limbs and stresses the tree. We remove only what the tree can handle and keep branches spread through the crown.
If you want the tree smaller, crown reduction may fit better. We can talk about which one suits your tree, or a mix of both.
We do crown thinning 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 crown and find crossing, rubbing, weak and crowded branches. We talk about what you want: more light, less wind load, or a better view. We plan to remove inner branches evenly, keeping the tree's natural shape.
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 Thinning Cost?
The cost depends on tree size, how dense the crown is, how close the tree is to buildings 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.
