Crown Reduction Clause Samples
Crown Reduction. Crown Reduction is used to reduce the height and/or spread of a tree. Crown reduction varies from topping, a destructive practice, in that cuts are not made indiscriminately, resulting in large stubbed off limbs that are subject to decay. While reducing a crown, tree workers must adhere to basic tree trimming practices involving limb/branch size relationships and use of the branch bark collar in avoiding the onset of decay at cut sites.
Crown Reduction. The Contractor will reduce the height and spread of specified trees by cutting each branch back to a side bud or branch to leave a flowing line without stumps. Following this work the trees must exhibit well-balanced and even crown characteristic of the species or variety concerned. In order to achieve a satisfactory finish the Contractor will be expected to incorporate a suitable amount of crown lifting and thinning as part of the work on each tree being reduced.
