Topping

Topping is a technique that keeps a tree stationery. It is important for guard trees or the front trees of groups. Trees around buildings and power lines can also benefit from this technique. With Mike Pirozek Contracting, you can be assured of proper assessment and you will be advised on your topping options.

An important factor to consider when topping a tree is the shape. Cutting the top will slow down the upward curl. There should be nothing should be above the top cut of a tree.

Mike Pirozek Contracting will re-assess the tree every 8 years on most evergreens, cedars need to be re-assessed every 5 years, and deciduous trees every 3 years. Laurel hedges can get out of control quick so we do those every year.
