Hazard Reduction Pruning

Targeted removal of the branches most likely to fail — informed by a formal tree risk assessment approach.

OVERVIEW

What this service involves

Hazard reduction pruning focuses on identifying and removing dead, damaged, weak, or otherwise problematic branches that present a real risk to people or property. Ed's TRAQ qualification means the risk is assessed methodically, not guessed at — so only what genuinely needs to come down is removed.

What's included

  • TRAQ-informed assessment of likelihood and consequences of failure
  • Removal of deadwood, cracked limbs, and codominant unions
  • End-weight reduction on overextended or heavy limbs
  • Prioritizing the highest-risk defects first
  • Clear explanation of what was found and why
