What Is Tree Lopping?

Tree lopping is the process of removing branches from a tree, or removing a tree altogether. The process of thinning, or what we call tree lopping, is used to control the growth of a tree by altering its form through precise branch removal. It focuses on removing sick areas of a tree in order to stimulate new development and longevity. When considering Tree Lopping, it is best to consult an Arborist to ensure best practices are adhered to.

Is there a good time of the year to have my tree's lopped?

The best time to have your trees lopped depends on the reason for the lopping. If you are lopping for safety reasons, then you should lop as soon as possible. If you are lopping for aesthetic reasons, then the best time is usually in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.

Tree lopping has many benefits, including:
