LEAF FALL REDUCTION: Every around autumn time we see people go out with dozens of huge brown bags and a leaf blower and rake.  If that's necessary then perhaps it's time to consider an urban or suburban yard overburdoned by trees that simply grew too large to manage.  We love trees, but they can put a strain on their humans!  A good leaf/yard balance should make it easy to mow over leaves a few times in the autumn season and be done with it!

REDUCING DANGEROUS OVERGROWTH:  Some tree types will simply grow far beyond their actual weight bearing capabilities ONCE you factor in for wind, ice, and snow to increase the weight or tension burden.  When one large branch snaps in such conditions, such a tree has displayed that it cannot take additional stressors to it's own weight on certain heavy, extra long branches.  Some of the branches we remove are actually the size of small to medium sized trees!  Some species such as pear trees simply were bred for appearances and they have inherent genetic weakness that cause them to break apart readily after 20 years age.

PRUNING FOR HEALTH: Many trees or tree patches are in such tight competition the health of single trees becomes compromised.  Likewise, some get of to a growth pattern that actually leads to a less desirable shape.  With wise pruning we can set these conditions on the right path letting light and air into dense places, and shifting a tree shape from odd to beautiful!  Smart pruning also helps to increase foliage in some areas, and also, increase the production of fruit for the next season!
