Why trim a tree?

Tree Pruning can be required for a number of different reasons:

Overgrown branches can overcrowd other specimens and make things look informal.
Overgrown branches can block the essential light to other trees, shrubs, plants and even your garden area.
To reduce weighty limbs which are susceptible to damage from wind or just weight alone

Crown Cleaning

Removal of dead and dying branches. Dead stumps or poorly cut branches, unwanted shoots. Crown cleaning can also include the removal of unwanted climbing plants such as ivy.

Crown Lifting

Lower Branches are removed to effectively raise the crown, which is the whole branch structure of the tree. This is a very useful treatment of large garden trees where shading is a problem, as the light can come in underneath tree. It can also be useful to maintain statutory distances from buildings and roads.

Crown Thinning

Crown density is reduced by the removal of selected branches from the whole crown, but the overall shape and size of the tree is maintained. This is normally done as a weight reduction method if a significant structure weakness is identified in the stem or major branches. It is also done to reduce damage that could result from crown resistance to strong winds or to allow more light and air through the crown.

Crown Reduction and Reshaping

Tree pollarding is a method of management where the main leading stem of a young tree is removed to encourage regrowth. The regrowth that then occurs can be regularly removed (re-pollarding) back the same point. This helps to promote the development of a compact crown and impede explorative root growth.
