Crown reduction is a refined pruning technique that requires more than just cutting back branches—it demands experience, precision, and a deep understanding of tree biology. Our ISA-certified arborists in Auburn take the time to evaluate each tree, choosing which branches to remove so the structure remains strong and visually balanced. By cutting back to lateral branches instead of making random cuts, we help your trees adapt naturally while maintaining their natural form.
We are careful never to remove more than 20–25% of the canopy in one session, ensuring your tree doesn’t experience unnecessary stress. This thoughtful approach allows your trees to recover smoothly, encouraging healthier regrowth and protecting long-term vitality.

One of the biggest mistakes property owners make is topping a tree, which involves cutting large limbs indiscriminately. This outdated practice weakens trees, invites pests and disease, and leads to rapid but unstable regrowth. At Arbor Barber, we never top trees. Instead, we use professional crown reduction techniques that protect structural integrity while achieving your goals for safety and clearance.
If your trees in Auburn are growing too tall, crowding your home, or interfering with power lines, crown reduction is the responsible solution that prioritizes both safety and tree health.
