CANOPY THINNING
Canopy thinning is selective work within a tree crown. It is different from topping a tree or cutting off entire limbs for clearance. The goal needs to be discussed alongside the tree condition and branch structure.
Stone Mountain’s tree application distinguishes general removal from hazardous tree removal. A clear description of the concern helps establish what documentation may be needed.

LOCAL PLANNING NOTES
Explain a new lean, damaged trunk or hanging branch separately from a planned removal of a sound tree.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
No. Topping removes major portions of the crown. Selective thinning is a different approach and requires review of the tree.
The effect depends on the tree and surrounding shade. Discuss the area you want changed before the scope is set.
No. The condition and structure of the tree guide whether selective pruning is appropriate.
