Pruning

Crown reduction is generally carried out when a tree outgrows the position in which it has been planted. The tree crown is reduced by shortening the branch system by approximately 10-30% maintaining a balanced shape throughout.

Crown Lifting is the removal of lower branches to increase the clearance between the ground and the crown. This can be useful to allow access and prevent any obstructions.

Crown Thinning is carried out to reduce the density of a trees branch system. This is done with the removal of branches within the crown which will enhance the shape and balance and increase light to the area.

Why Prune a Tree?

Careful pruning keeps trees healthy, safe and in proportion with their surroundings. It can let more light into your garden and home, lift branches clear of roofs, paths and driveways, and remove dead, diseased or damaged wood before it becomes a problem. For dead wooding and other safety work, see our safety work page.

Every tree is different, so we look at its species, condition and position before recommending the right type and amount of pruning. If a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area, we can help with the application process before any work starts.
