Crown Reduction

Removal of the branch tips to a growth point lower down the limb. This reduces the over all size of the canopy, usually stated as a percentage, the recommended maximum being 25%. Increases light into your garden but can encourage vigorous re-growth.

Crown Thinning

Achieves an open balanced crown by removing internal secondary branches from within the canopy. This increases the amount of light passing through the canopy and reduces the crowns sail area which in turn reduces the loading on branches during strong winds.

Crown Lifting

Removing the lower branches allows better access, can improve the trees form and increases the amount of light entering your garden.

 

Crown Cleaning/ Deadwood Removal

This is the removal of damaged, diseased and major deadwood from a trees canopy, often in relation to Health and Safety concerns. It is however, important to retain deadwood where possible as it provides a valuable habitat for wildlife.

 

Formative pruning

Helps young trees establish and retain good form and health as they mature.

 

Pollarding and Coppicing

Traditional methods of tree management that may enable retention of a tree where removal seemed the only option.

 

Removal

Clear felling and confined space dismantling. Where space allows, trees may be directionally felled from the base to save time and money. If space is restricted, the same tree can be climbed using ropes and harness and systematically dismantled with rigging equipment or Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWP) where necessary.
