Has your tree outgrown its space? A mature tree that now shades your whole garden, rubs against the house, or blocks views does not need to be removed. Crown reduction solves the problem by reducing the overall size of the canopy while preserving the natural shape and character of the tree.
Crown reduction is a precise, skilled operation. Done properly, it reduces the height and spread of the crown, lets in more light, lessens the weight on older limbs and keeps the tree in proportion with its surroundings, all without the stress that hard topping causes. Done badly, it disfigures the tree and leaves it open to decay. That is why this is one of the jobs where experience truly matters.
The right time for crown reduction is when a tree has simply become too large for its setting, not when it is ailing. A healthy tree with too much crown removed can suffer dieback and decline, so the amount taken off must always be measured and sensible. Our arborists will tell you the truth about what your tree needs, and if we think a different approach, such as crown thinning or a targeted prune, would serve you better, we will recommend it.
How It Works
We start with a free assessment of your tree. Our arborist identifies suitable growth points, works out a sensible reduction, and explains what the finished tree will look like before we start. We work carefully, making clean cuts at the right points, and remove all the resulting material so your garden is left tidy.
What You Get
More light in your garden, a tree that still looks like a tree, and reduced strain on ageing limbs. All the cut material is removed, the tree is left in good shape to heal, and you receive clear advice on when the next reduction, if any, is likely to be needed.
