CROWN THINNING
Economy Tree Care Inc.
Crown thinning reduces overcrowded branches to increase sunlight, improve airflow, and reduce the weight that can cause splitting. This type of pruning helps reduce disease risk, minimizes storm damage, and enhances the overall health of the tree. It creates a lighter, healthier canopy that looks natural and blends seamlessly with your landscape.

CROWN RAISING/CLEARANCE
Economy Tree Care Inc.
Crown raising removes lower branches to create clearance for walkways, driveways, vehicles, and visibility around your property. It’s especially helpful for improving safety and accessibility while giving the tree a cleaner, more open appearance. This service ensures your outdoor spaces are safer, easier to navigate, and visually more appealing.
