Shaping, thinning and palm skinning before the monsoon takes a limb — Chandler, Maricopa County.
The ash and mesquite planted across Chandler in the eighties are forty-something years old now, and they have stopped being decoration and started being structure. A canopy that thick gives monsoon wind nothing to pass through, so the wind takes the limb instead — usually the heaviest one, usually over the roof or the wall. Trimming is what changes that equation. We thin the canopy so air moves through it, take weight off the ends of long limbs instead of gutting the middle of the tree, clear branches back off rooflines, walls and driveways, cut out deadwood, and skin palms of dead fronds and date pods. It all goes onto the trailer and leaves with us. The best time to think about it is before the storms start, not the morning after one.
There is a difference between trimming a tree and topping it, and in Chandler you can see the second one from the street — a mesquite cut back to stubs that pushes out a mess of weak shoots the following spring and ends up heavier and more brittle than before. We cut back to growth points that can carry the tree forward, which looks like less work on the day and is the reason the tree still has a shape in five years.
Water, rock, grass and shade — the whole yard, by one crew.
