Low branches can make a driveway, walkway, or part of your yard difficult to use. A canopy raise addresses selected lower branches to create clearance beneath a tree. R M Tree Care offers this service for homes and businesses in Covington and surrounding Northshore communities.
The starting point is the space you need to use. Tell us whether the concern involves people walking under the tree, vehicles entering a driveway, or access for mowing and property maintenance. Those are different clearance needs, and the proposed work should reflect them.
Show the team which branches interfere with access and explain what needs to pass beneath them. If a particular vehicle uses the area, provide that information. Also point out buildings, fences, landscaping, and any restrictions that affect access to the tree.
The tree’s condition and branch structure matter when discussing what can be removed. Avoid choosing a clearance height without looking at the tree itself. If you are concerned about its condition as well as access, ask about an arborist evaluation.
Ask which branches are included in the proposal and how the cut material will be handled. Let the team know if the work area needs to remain accessible during the project or if there are specific times when vehicles use the driveway.
A canopy raise focuses on clearance beneath the lower branches. Tree pruning can address other branch concerns as well. Explain the result you need so the team can discuss the appropriate scope.
Describe the location and access when requesting an estimate. Nearby structures and the equipment route need to be considered before the work can be planned. Photos can help explain the problem, followed by any site review the team needs.
Call (985) 317-5050 or contact R M Tree Care with the property location and the clearance problem you want addressed.
