Before the first cut
How Carlos reads a big tree.
One of our own jobs: an old multi-trunk shade tree being worked from the top down. Tap or hover a mark to see what each part of the work is doing, in the order it happens.
The cut, then the clean-up
Sculpted for now, and for the growth that comes after.
A topped tree throws a mess of weak sprouts. A tree pruned at the right places keeps its shape and grows back strong. That is the difference between thinning, raising and shaping a crown and just making it smaller, and it is the work customers keep writing about.
“Carlos is an artist.”
Residential and Commercial tree work
From the top of the tree to the stump under it.
Removal leads, because the big jobs are where a careful crew matters most. Everything else on the list is work the same crew does every week across the valley.
