Why the Homeowner Needed Their Elm Tree Trimmed and Pruned

Elm trees are some of the largest species in Atlanta, GA. It’s common for them to grow up to 70 feet tall with extremely wide canopies. While locals love elms for their shade and add property value, they can also put nearby structures at risk when branches stretch too far.

That’s exactly what a local homeowner faced when one of their elm trees developed a wide canopy with limbs extending over the home, prompting a call to Boutte Tree for tree trimming and pruning services.

How Boutte Tree Safely Reduced the Canopy To Help Protect th Client’s Property and Home

After arriving at the homeowner’s property, Boutte Tree created a plan that involved carefully trimming and lowering large limbs using rope techniques to control each cut and avoid damage to the property.

Once the crew reduced the heaviest sections, they performed crown thinning to remove excess weight and improve airflow. They also handled deadwood removal to eliminate weak limbs and used structural pruning to improve how the tree supported itself.

The team finished with canopy shaping to pull the tree back from the home. Before leaving, they made sure to recommend regular tree health maintenance services to prevent similar issues in the future.
