Bradley had just bought the place. Then he noticed the sycamore.
It wasn’t something he wanted to guess on. He wanted to hear the plan, understand the reasoning, and feel good about who he hired. Questions first. Then decisions.
Todd came out, took a good look, and walked Bradley through a pruning plan that included crown reduction. Not for looks. For a healthier shape and a stronger structure going forward.
When the crew came back, the work stayed steady and respectful. No mess. No chaos. Bradley said he was highly impressed with the outcome and he’s already looking ahead to working with Tip Top again.

This wasn’t a quick trim. It was a mature sycamore that needed a smart plan, plus a homeowner who wanted the “why” before the “do.”
“Todd came over to access a mature sycamore tree on a property I just purchased. I’m the type of person that researches work to educate myself before hiring a professional, so when I heard his plan of pruning and crown reduction to improve the overall health and structure of the tree, I knew I contacted the right company. They were courteous and professional during the job, and I’m highly impressed with the outcome. Thank you for you help with this and looking forward to working with you again in the future.”
