Understanding the Difference: Tree Lopping vs. Tree Removal

It's essential to dispel the misconception that tree lopping and tree removal are interchangeable terms. In reality, they refer to entirely different processes.

Tree lopping, also known as lopping or hat-racking, refers to the practice of removing the top half or main stem(s) of a tree. This outdated method was common in the tree industry before 1983 when standards, training, and certification were lacking. Tree lopping involves cross-cutting the main stem or leaders, leaving behind large malformed stubs that make the tree susceptible to various problems. Lopped trees are prone to pest infestations, pathogen intrusion, internal decay, and weak re-growth.

On the other hand, tree removal is the process of completely removing a tree. The approach to tree removal depends on factors such as the tree's size, space required for its safe removal, nearby power lines, and the arborist's preference. While the simplest method is cutting the tree at the base and then dividing it into manageable pieces, a more cautious approach is often necessary in residential and commercial areas to minimize damage risks to buildings and infrastructure.

To ensure the safe and professional removal or pruning of your trees, it is always recommended to contact a qualified arborist like Xtreme Garden Care.
