A thick, overgrown canopy traps humidity, catches wind in summer storms, and shades out the grass and garden below it.
Canopy thinning is the selective removal of interior branches to open a tree up. When light and air move freely through the crown, disease pressure drops during humid Piedmont summers and the tree handles wind far better.
The difference is in the word selective. Thinning is not topping, and it is not stripping a tree bare. The right branches are removed at the right points, so the tree keeps its natural shape and structure while more sunlight reaches the ground beneath it.
Across Kernersville, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro, summer thinning is a practical way to protect both a tree and the yard around it.
