Species, branch unions, trunk defects, targets below the canopy, roof and utility proximity, previous cuts, equipment access, and the reason the property owner wants work done.<\/p>

A pruning recommendation should explain what will change and what will intentionally remain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Over-pruning can remove useful canopy, trigger unwanted growth, and create new structural problems. The point is to solve the actual clearance, defect, or structural concern\u2014not make every tree look equally sparse.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
