Pruning is the cutting or removal of branches or parts of a tree to improve the tree's shape or growth. Pruning is the most common tree maintenance procedure performed by tree services. It is done as a preventative or corrective measure to clear out dead branches, remove crowded or rubbing limbs, eliminate hazards, and increase light and air penetration.

Tree topping is the practice of removing tree branches or tree tops so that they are left as stubs. This is done to reduce the size of the tree.

Tree topping is an extremely harmful practice, and professional tree services strongly advise against it. Topping may be highly hazardous in the long term and is very harmful to the tree’s health.
