Crepe myrtle pruning work typically involves selectively removing dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve the tree's structure and overall health. It may also include thinning out dense growth to enhance air circulation and light penetration, as well as shaping the canopy for aesthetic purposes. When evaluating requests, details such as the tree’s size and age, the extent of overgrowth or damage, desired shape or size, and the presence of any disease or pest issues are important factors to consider.
