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

  • Reduce storm damage risk

  • Extend the life of mature trees

  • Maintain clearance from structures

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