Hello, Alexandra. Unfortunately, I’m not based In LA and don’t know the arborists there. The book I recommend has detailed pruning instructions for DIY. Because many landscape professionals do not know ecological techniques, I recommend learning what’s correct so you can supervise a team, if necessary. Good luck!
Thank you, I wasn’t aware of this book and will definitely be purchasing it for our library district in Southern Colorado.
It's a very informative manual -- and not as well known as it should be. Glad to hear you'll be making it available.
Thank you so much for this! I’m also in LA, do you have a recommendation for someone who you trust to trim large trees in the manner you described?
