Have you ever noticed trees on your property getting in the way of buildings, sidewalks, or driveways? Overgrown lower branches can become a real obstacle, but that’s where tree raising comes in! Raising the canopy of a tree not only improves clearance but also helps the tree grow strong and healthy when done correctly.
Tree raising, also known as canopy raising, is the process of removing the lower branches of a tree to create more space underneath. Whether you need clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, or better visibility, this type of pruning is a great solution. However, it’s important that the process is done carefully and gradually to keep the tree healthy and structurally sound.
Many cities require minimum clearance heights for trees near sidewalks and roads, making tree raising an essential service for compliance.

More Space & Clearance – If low-hanging branches are blocking your driveway or sidewalk, tree raising clears the way while keeping the tree intact.
Improved Aesthetics – Raising a tree’s canopy creates a cleaner, more open look that enhances the beauty of your landscape.
Healthier Tree Growth – Gradual pruning over time encourages stronger, healthier growth, reducing the risk of large wounds that the tree may struggle to heal from.
Better Sunlight & Airflow – Removing lower branches allows more sunlight to reach your lawn and plants, improving their growth and vitality.
Tree raising should start early, while the tree is still young. If done properly, it allows the tree to grow into a well-balanced shape with a defined lowest permanent branch. Removing too many branches at once—especially on mature trees—can stress the tree and create wounds that never fully heal. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced arborist handle the job carefully.
