Tree Lopping: Everything You Need To Know

What is Tree Lopping?

Tree lopping is the process used of removing branches from a tree to train growth in a certain direction. It focuses on removing sick areas of a tree in order to stimulate new development and longevity. 

When should I have my trees lopped?

If you’re lopping your trees for safety reasons, then it is crucial that you get them lopped as soon as possible to avoid hazards to your surrounding areas. If you’re lopping your tree/s for aesthetic reasons, then the best  time to do this is either late winter or early spring before new growth commences.
