Canopy Trimming FAQs
What is canopy thinning?
Canopy thinning is the removal of select branches to increase light penetration and air movement. This improves the health of the tree and helps protect it from storm damage.
Why are my lower branches dying?
This is often due to a lack of sunlight reaching the lower canopy. Trimming the upper canopy can help light reach the bottom, keeping the whole tree healthy.
Will canopy trimming improve the grass growing under my tree?
Yes. By thinning the canopy, more sunlight reaches the ground, which significantly improves the health and thickness of the grass beneath the tree.
How much of the canopy can be removed at once?
A general rule is never to remove more than 25% of a tree's living canopy in a single season to avoid stressing the tree.
When is the best time for canopy trimming?
Late winter or early spring is best for most species, as it allows the tree to heal quickly during the upcoming growing season.
