Back in Plano with a canopy worth protecting. This 1970s home came with mature live oaks, red oaks, and ashes, and we’re giving them full house clearance plus street clearance on the cul-de-sac. Two-day job, three in the front, a red oak nearby, and a big ash out back that was lion-tailed and needs corrective cuts to come back right.

Every cut is purposeful. Mr. Logan’s way out on the limbs doing the limb walking it takes to prune at the ends, not just gut the interior. We rigged carefully around her landscape, no crushed shrubs, no shortcuts, because doing it right takes a little extra time and the certification to back it up.

Gorgeous trees, healthy structure, and a yard she’ll love. You’re going to love where you live.

Canopy Crew, this is what proper pruning looks like.

Prosper, TX. Two red oaks that were lion-tailed in the past, and we’re starting the work to bring them back.

This is a long game. It can take a few years, maybe five, to encourage the internal growth these trees need. With the cluster of first-order limbs up top, we’re creating separation and reducing back from the house. It’s summer, so no major cuts right now. We reduce, slow the growth, and set up the larger reduction and removal cuts for our next visit.

Shoutout to the crew making it happen: Vargas and Logan in the canopy, Mr. Richard keeping the ground clean.

These two are going to be gorgeous when we’re done, and we’ll be back to take care of them for years to come.

You’re going to love where you live.

Big day on Spring Creek in Plano.

Bradford pear out. Silver maple structural pruning in. Reducing mechanical load on those large aspect ratios and setting this tree up to grow the right way.

This is what we do.

What do you call a tree that doubts everything you say?

A cynicalmore… no wait — a SAP-tic.

Two removals. Two structural prunings. One all-day job.

We’re walking this property before we touch a single branch — because that’s how you build a plan that actually fixes the problems instead of just cleaning up what you can see.

Both red oaks have been lion’s tailed hard over the years. That means all the foliage got pushed out to the tips, the interior died back, and now you’ve got heavy end weight with nothing behind it to absorb the load. One has a first-order limb with a wide aspect ratio that’s carrying serious mechanical risk. We’re starting the process of pulling that canopy back in and encouraging interior growth. That’s a five-year correction — not a one-visit fix.

The pistache is a notch and drop. The ash in the backyard is coming down. Thirteen inches, too close to the house, customer doesn’t want it. Clean removal and we’re out.

Lion’s tailing is one of the most common mistakes made in tree care — and one of the most expensive to undo. It takes time, patience, and the right pruning strategy to rebuild a canopy that’s been stripped from the inside out. But it’s worth doing. Less end weight means fewer failures, less storm damage, and a healthier tree long-term.

This is the work.

Canopy Crew — drop a question below if you’ve got a tree that’s been lion’s tailed. You might be further along in the correction than you think.

You’re going to love where you live.
