WARNING SIGNS
WHY PEOPLE ASK FOR TREE TOPPING, AND WHAT TO DO INSTEAD
Tree topping is cutting the main branches of a tree back to stubs to make it shorter. It is usually not recommended, because it can weaken the tree and make it less safe. Diligent Tree Service provides tree topping in Lake Havasu City, AZ along with honest advice and safer options such as crown reduction. Call (928) 208-7905 to schedule a visit.
01
THE TREE HAS GROWN TOO TALL
An overgrown tree topping request is common. Crown reduction usually brings the height down more safely.
02
BRANCHES OVER THE ROOF OR POWER LINES
Trimming back the branches that cause the problem is often enough.
03
THE TREE BLOCKS A VIEW OR SUNLIGHT
Thinning or selective trimming can open views and light without topping.
04
WORRY ABOUT STORM DAMAGE
Thinning can reduce wind stress. A weak or damaged tree may need removal instead.
05
THE TREE IS TOO BIG FOR THE SPACE
Sometimes removal and replacing it with a smaller tree is the best long-term fix.

Every tree is different, so we price tree height reduction after seeing your tree. These factors have the biggest effect on the cost:
Tree size and height. Taller trees take more time, people and equipment.
