Prescription Pruning in Las Vegas
A pruning plan built around one tree's specific problem, structural, health, or both, prescribed after an arborist assessment rather than applied as a generic trim.
“Did an excellent job repairing tree that had a major branch that broke due to wind. They also did a great job shaping the crown to reduce the chances of future wind damage.”

Why this matters
General trimming shapes a tree's canopy on a schedule. Prescription pruning starts from a diagnosis instead — a structural defect, storm damage, declining health, or the aftermath of a bad trim from another company (most often a flush cut that took the branch collar with it, or a topping job that left a stub full of weak new growth). From there we work backward to the specific cuts that actually address the problem. It's treatment for one diagnosed issue, not routine maintenance.
