Default Re: Why Topping?

Even the insurance papers for our business state "tree lopper"!

And they aint changing it, plus what we do is called tree lopping. That's pretty much ingrained in our language, from courts to media to Mrs Jones's backyard.

However on my website I have tried to use this term rather cleverly ....

Traditionally in Brisbane the term tree lopping meant cutting the tree down to ground level, we refer to that as tree removal. If you wanted your tree cut in half (refering to trees not shrubs), like say cutting a 100' gum tree down to 50' high that is called topping within the industry ... but quite a few people do incorrectly refer to that as tree lopping also.
