When homeowners hire a tree service, they expect more than just branches being cut. They expect precision, care for the property, and a team that leaves the yard looking better than they found it. Kent Shimizu recently hired Tip Top Arborists for tree trimming and pruning, and his experience highlights exactly why we focus so heavily on the details.
Location: Antelope Valley, CA
Service: Tree Trimming & Pruning
Equipment Used / Tools: hand pruners, pole pruners, chainsaws, climbing ropes, safety harnesses, rigging lines, hauling equipment, cleanup tools
Crew: ISA-certified arborist and full Tip Top Arborists crew
Completion Time: Completed as scheduled
Tree trimming is an art as much as it is a science. Our ISA-certified arborists do not just remove overgrowth; they shape the canopy to ensure the tree remains structurally sound, visually appealing, and healthy for years to come. Kent noted that his trees were “cleaned up and shaped as I wanted,” which is always our primary goal.
A common complaint in the tree care industry is the mess left behind after the job is done. At Tip Top Arborists, we consider the cleanup to be just as important as the pruning itself. Whether we are removing a massive pine or shaping a delicate ornamental tree, our crews ensure every leaf, twig, and branch is chipped and hauled away.
Below are the photos Kent shared of the completed work, showcasing the clean, open canopy and the spotless yard left behind by our crew.
“Tip Top Arborists did a very nice job on my trees. The trees were cleaned up and shaped as I wanted and the guys did an excellent clean up job. I’m very satisfied.”
Mature sycamore trees require specialized care. Crown reduction is a specific pruning technique used to reduce the size of a tree while maintaining its structural integrity and natural shape. Unlike “topping,” which is harmful to trees, a proper crown reduction requires the expertise of a certified arborist to ensure the cuts promote healthy future growth.
When moving into a new property, having a professional arborist assess mature trees early on can prevent future hazards and ensure the trees remain a beautiful asset to the home for years to come.
Step 1: Arrive on site to provide a thorough, educational assessment of the mature sycamore tree.
Step 2: Develop a specific plan for pruning and crown reduction focused on long term tree health.
Step 3: Explain the plan clearly to the homeowner so they understand the “why” behind the work.
Step 4: Arrive with a full, courteous crew equipped with the right tools for mature tree care.
Step 5: Execute the crown reduction precisely to improve the tree’s overall structure.
Step 6: Complete the job professionally and leave the property looking pristine.

Crown reduction is a professional pruning technique that selectively cuts branches back to healthy lateral growth, maintaining the tree’s natural shape and health. Topping is an outdated, harmful practice that cuts branches indiscriminately, which can severely damage or kill the tree.
An ISA-certified arborist can identify structural issues, diseases, or potential hazards that an untrained eye might miss. Early assessment allows for proactive care, ensuring the trees remain safe and healthy assets to your new home.
The time varies depending on the size and location of the tree, but our fully equipped crews work efficiently to complete most pruning jobs within a single day, including thorough cleanup.
The most important result was the homeowner’s complete confidence in the work. By taking the time to explain the pruning and crown reduction plan, Todd ensured the homeowner knew exactly what to expect. The crew followed through with courteous, professional execution that left the sycamore tree with an improved structure and healthier future.
The homeowner was highly impressed with the outcome and looks forward to working with Tip Top Arborists again in the future.
