Hat Rack Pruning, also known as Tree Topping, is the absolute most damaging tree trimming technique. It will kill the tree.

Hat rack pruning is a method of cutting off a tree’s lateral branches at random lengths, which then destroys the tree’s appearance and leaves branch stubs that will eventually start to decay. This tree topping technique is a surefire way to kill a tree long before it has had the chance to live its natural life cycle.

The Dangers of Tree Topping

The practice of tree topping creates large, open wounds that become exposed to the elements, to harmful insects, and to decay. The branches are destined to die a slow death, consumed from within by rot, until they break off and fall, damaging anything in its path. The tree will also eventually die as more and more branches rot and break. And the drastic reduction in the leaf surface damages the tree’s root system, leaving it more susceptible to uprooting.

A topped tree decreases your property value too, increases liability, and may lead to an insurance issue. You should always seek out an opinion from a professional, Certified Arborist before allowing anyone or any company to trim your trees. And please avoid companies who promote Topping!!! Never be pressured by bargains either — “you get what you pay for”
