What Is Tree Lopping?

Tree lopping is the process of removing or cutting branches in order to influence growth in different directions. Some reasons for calling a tree lopping service include:

• The tree growth is beginning to impede another structure
• Large portions of the tree are damaged and no longer grow
• The tree is grown too large for its environment

Tree lopping is often necessary to remove dead or damaged branches, to improve the appearance of a tree, or to allow more sunlight to reach the ground.

How Is Tree Lopping Performed?

Tree lopping is typically performed by arborists who use special climbing equipment to reach the branches that need to be cut. The arborists will make a careful assessment of the tree and its surroundings before deciding which branches should be removed.

The arborists (that's us!) will then use a chainsaw or other equipment to cut the branches, taking care not to damage the trunk or other nearby trees. In some cases, we will use ropes to lower the branches to the ground.

After the tree lopping is complete, we will often perform a light trimming of the remaining branches. This will help the tree to heal properly and look neat and tidy.

Keeping The Tree Safe

Tree lopping can sometimes do more harm to the specimen than good. Elk Grove Tree Services knows all of the safe techniques to make certain your tree does not suffer.
​
The main concern about tree lopping is how much of the specimen to remove. Take away too much and the specimen may not recover. But have no fear. Our team is experienced in the removal of just the right amount of branches without causing any long-term damage.

How Long Does Tree Lopping Take?

Depending on the size of the tree, our process can take anywhere from half an hour to an entire day. And while we never drag our feet, nor is any of the work rushed or forced.
​
The safety of the tree, as well as the area around it, is never placed in the back seat. Elk Grove Tree Services applies the utmost care in each and every job we do.

Elk Grove Tree Services provides safe, reliable tree lopping services to Sacramento County residents. We've done work on oak, sycamore, pine, buckeye, and many other specimens.
It is our pleasure to serve and care for trees in and around Sacramento, "The City Of Trees". Indeed, many specimens are protected by county law. We are well aware of these laws and take great care to never violate them.
