Why Choose NorCal Arborist in Lodi?

We prune your trees to ISA & ANSI Standards to preserve their health and resistance to pests & disease.

Listed below are the recommended types of pruning.

Crown Thinning

Crown-thinning is simultaneously the most basic & the most important form of trimming trees. Some trees grow more rapidly than others. Thus, the frequency of this process ranges from about twice per year to once every few years. “Crown-thinning” means removing a conservative amount of secondary branches. These should not include any major limbs. This process is done evenly throughout a tree and typically involves 20-25% of the canopy.

If there is any uncertainty about how often to crown-thin a particular tree, consult our Certified Arborist in Lodi. They can help make a game plan for your tree care.

A properly crown-thinned tree is beautiful! Aesthetics aside, a proper crown-thin can also offer greater peace of mind. To judge if a tree needs crown thinning, look up into the canopy. Try to look through it. See how much sky is visible through the foliage. If it is so dense you can hardly see the sky beyond the tree, your tree needs crown-thinning.

WHY? If you can’t easily see through a tree’s canopy, the wind also has difficulty blowing through it. Most of the time, this is not a big problem. Yet, if a storm comes through, there could be a sudden, huge problem. It may be too late to fix it. A wise sailor does not keep full sails up in a nasty storm.

A dense canopy will strongly resist heavy winds. Unfortunately, this may result in broken limbs or even the loss of the entire tree. The effects of strong winds increase if they come after heavy precipitation. This causes other problems related to the root system of a tree. Proper crown-thinning from our Arborists in Lodi can significantly lower the risk of a tree falling over.

Crown Reduction

Crown-reduction involves reducing the overall size of a tree’s canopy. This is achieved by using reduction cuts on many of the secondary (smaller) branches all around the outside. The process shortens as many of the limbs as possible.

The best application of crown-reduction is when a tree has been planted in a small area. It isn’t uncommon for a sapling tree to be planted without considering how large it can become. This varies depending on the species. Environmental factors, like watering and soil quality, also play a role. Planning the potential sizes of various trees in a yard requires mindfulness. It is tricky. If mistakes occur, crown-reduction can help with overcrowding in the yard.

Crown Raising

The main reason for crown-raising is clearance; this includes structure clearance, areas of traffic and parking lots.

Raising the canopy will make such tree maintenance as fertilization easier as well. This type of pruning is common over carports or to increase visibility of street signs, as regulated by the city.

Canopy Shaping

This type of pruning is almost purely aesthetic. It is rarely necessary for the actual well-being of a tree. This mainly involves reducing limbs that extend much farther from the canopy than those around it. Often, any sort of trimming performed by a Certified Arborist will also include artistic considerations. These may include roundness or an overall sense of ‘balance’ or symmetry. It could even be asymmetry, depending on the particular tree and the personal preferences of the homeowner.

The vision of our Certified Arborist is a combination of biology and art. The arborist should also consider what the client would like for a tree. If it is not harmful to the tree, there is nothing wrong with a little creativity.

Our arborists offer a full suite of tree services. These include pruning, removal, tree health, and emergency tree care.
