Northern Lakes Tree Service employs a comprehensive approach to tree care, emphasizing both the health of trees and the safety of surrounding environments. Their methodology includes several specialized pruning techniques tailored to the specific needs of each tree.Crown Lifting involves the removal of lower branches to increase vertical clearance, which is particularly useful for allowing more light to pass beneath the canopy and reducing stress on the tree. This technique is carefully executed to ensure that no more than one-third of the overall tree height is affected, maintaining the tree's structural integrity. Crown Thinning is another technique used primarily on hardwood trees. It entails the selective removal of stems and branches throughout the crown to enhance light penetration and air circulation. This method helps maintain the tree's natural shape while reducing the weight on heavy limbs, thereby preventing potential hazards. Typically, no more than 25% of the tree's live foliage is removed during this process to avoid compromising the tree's health. Crown Reduction is applied when a tree has outgrown its allotted space. This process involves cutting back the crown to suitable growth points, effectively decreasing the tree's height and spread. By shortening branches and reducing the canopy, the tree's growth is managed without sacrificing its natural form. In addition to these pruning techniques, Northern Lakes Tree Service conducts thorough tree inspections to assess structural integrity and identify potential risks. This proactive approach ensures that any necessary interventions are implemented promptly, safeguarding both the trees and the surrounding property. By integrating these methods, Northern Lakes Tree Service promotes the health and longevity of trees while ensuring safety and aesthetic appeal in the landscapes they manage.
