A homeowner in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, recently reached out to Otto Tree Service to discuss annual pruning and trimming for their mature Norway maple. After deciding the tree was becoming overgrown, they asked for expert care to promote long-term tree health and the safety of the centerpiece of their property’s landscaping.
With years of local experience and a reputation for precision tree care, Otto Tree Service was the perfect fit for the job.

The owner talked with Otto Tree Service’s certified arborist on his property. He explained that he had regularly trimmed low-hanging branches during past winters. However, the sunlight reaching the lawn was decreasing each year, and he had concerns about what looked like unstable upper limbs.
Norway maples produce dense canopies as they mature. Without professional trimming high off the ground, the tree is at greater risk of disease and low airflow. Otto Tree Service’s assessment identified the most important areas for selective branch removal. Of course, the goal was to reduce weight, increase sunlight, and improve overall health and safety.
The evaluation accounted for species-specific growth patterns and vulnerability to limb breakage in high winds.
It took the crew about three hours to complete the tree trimming and pruning work. It effectively and safely removed weak and potentially hazardous limbs. Their professional equipment delivered clean cuts that will heal rapidly for a cleaner, more balanced appearance during the growing season.
The homeowner was thrilled with the visible results and has scheduled ongoing care for their treasured tree in the years to come. Otto Tree Service’s expert arborist also provided helpful care tips for ongoing care and monitoring.
The Norway maple now stands stronger, healthier, and better prepared for Michigan’s unpredictable weather. With consistent tree pruning services, the tree will continue to thrive while adding lasting beauty and safety to the property.
