Topping is the indiscriminate cutting of tree branches to stubs or lateral branches that are not large enough to assume the terminal role. Other names for topping include "heading", "tipping', "hat-racking", and "rounding over." The most common reason given for topping is to reduce the size of a tree. Home owners often feel that their trees have become too large for their property. People fear that tall trees may pose a hazard. Topping, however, is not a viable method of height reduction and certainly does not reduce the hazard. In fact, topping will make a tree more hazardous in the long term.

This is one of the main phrases clients use on there Google search engine. The problem is that many companies will appear before you. How do you tell them all apart? Here are a few simple questions.
1) Are they certified arborists?
2) Is their staff trained?
3) Can they provide for not only my removal needs but fine prunning also?
4) Do they follow safety standards?
5) Do they have insurance?
6) Will the staff minimize wear on my property while working?
7) Will they treat me, my property and trees with respect?

We always answer yes to all those questions! If they can not answer yes to all of those questions then you should pick another tree company.

Can't get my mom, dad, sister, or child, etc. to take care of their tree? What should I do to help?

If you did not read in the paper on 10-30-13 there was a tragic death in our industry. Cameron Lyon of Lyon & Son Tree Service passed away after falling while working in a tree from failing to use his safety harness. It was a simple mistake that ended in tragedy, but it was a major reminder to all that one always has to be focused on doing their job safely and not skipping any procedures. We have committed to being more focused on safety in 2014 as we all should be. We will greatly miss our friend and we would ask you to pray for his wife and 4 children at this time. Cameron you are missed everyday!!
