Professional Canopy Thinning & Raising

At OCS Tree Services, we provide expert canopy thinning and raising to keep your trees healthy, your property safe, and your outdoor spaces usable. By selectively removing branches, we can improve airflow, increase sunlight penetration, and reduce the risk of storm damage—without harming the tree’s structure or beauty.

​

​

What is Canopy Thinning?

Canopy thinning involves the strategic removal of smaller, interior branches to:

​

• Allow more sunlight to reach your lawn or garden.

• Improve air circulation within the tree, reducing disease risk.

• Lessen wind resistance to help prevent storm damage.

​

What is Canopy Raising?

Canopy raising involves removing lower branches to:

​

• Improve clearance for driveways, sidewalks, or structures.

• Increase visibility and create more usable outdoor space.

• Enhance curb appeal by showcasing the tree’s form.

​

​

When to Consider Canopy Work

​

• Trees overhanging driveways, walkways, or roofs.

• Lawns and gardens suffering from lack of sunlight.

• Low-hanging branches interfering with vehicles or people.

• Large, dense canopies at risk during high winds.
