Improving Safety and Aesthetics With Professional Tree Care Services
This particular project involved two trees: an overgrown magnolia and a dead oak tree. We performed a tree pruning service on the magnolia to remove unhealthy branches to restore its shape and support ongoing health.
Because the oak tree was hanging over other trees and the fence surrounding the property, our Virginia Beach, VA, tree maintenance company had to take it down. We hauled away all the debris from both projects to leave a clean yard.
Identifying Solutions to Tree Trimming and Pruning Challenges
The tree maintenance team had several challenges. The trees varied from 60 to 80 feet tall, and the homeowners wanted to preserve the magnolia tree.
To ensure a safe and efficient process during tree pruning and tree removal, we arrived with a five-man crew, a spider lift, and a skid steer for easy access to the uppermost branches. During the tree pruning service, the team identified the correct branches to remove while preserving the strongest, healthiest limbs.
