Cuts are planned with sunlight, streetlamps, and facade shadows in mind, keeping charm while adding light. This matters in Birmingham, MI where evenings are meant for porches and courtyards.

Foot traffic and parking compact soil, so we aerate, mulch, and feed roots. Healthier roots mean stronger anchoring during storms and better recovery after pruning.
