Care for established shade trees

Preserve the right tree. Address the real problem.

Older shade trees can develop dead branches, overextended limbs, weak unions, or decay while still offering meaningful value to the property. A tree does not need to be removed simply because one branch is too close to the house—but a compromised trunk or unstable root system should not be ignored.

AJ evaluates the structure of the tree and what sits beneath it. That conversation helps you decide whether the right next step is selective pruning, deadwooding, cabling, full removal, or cleanup after a storm.

Why selective work matters on older trees

Large, established trees are not improved by cutting every branch back to the trunk. Removing too much live canopy can create additional stress. Targeted pruning, deadwooding, and structural evaluation focus on the specific parts of the tree that present a problem.

• Large dead branches suspended over a roof, porch, driveway, or yard.
• Limbs that extend well beyond the main canopy or rub against one another.
• Hollow or decayed trunk sections, weak branch unions, or storm cracks.
• Evidence that the tree's root plate or lean changed after heavy weather.
