Care for Mature Trees
in Richmond Neighborhoods
Richmond’s older neighborhoods often have large shade trees that were planted decades ago. These trees provide tremendous value, but they also require knowledgeable maintenance to remain healthy and safe.
Proper pruning can:
Improve tree structure

Careful climbing techniques allow pruning work to be performed efficiently without heavy equipment or large crews.
