What is Tree Pruning?

Tree pruning also known as Crown Reduction is the careful removal of selected branches to improve a tree’s structure, health, and overall appearance. Done correctly, pruning not only enhances your outdoor space but also reduces risk and helps prevent costly damage to your property and reduces the risk of failure and allows more light to get in.

If you’re searching for tree pruning, tree cutting services, tree trimming, or professional tree surgeons, crown reductions, we provide a service you can rely on.

There are a few reasons why we reduce a tree:

Structural & Safety Reasons

Trees can develop weak, damaged, or poorly positioned branches over time. Professional pruning improves the structure of the tree, reducing the likelihood of breakage and making your outdoor space safer.

Increase Natural Light

Overgrown trees can block sunlight from reaching your garden or home. Pruning opens up the canopy, allowing more natural light in and creating a brighter, more enjoyable outdoor space.

Reduce Wind Resistance (Wind Sail)

Dense canopies can act like a sail in strong winds, placing stress on the tree. Careful pruning reduces wind resistance, helping trees better withstand harsh weather conditions.

Improve Appearance (Aesthetic Appeal)

Well-maintained trees enhance the overall look of your property. Pruning shapes and balances the tree, keeping your garden neat, tidy, and visually appealing all year round.

Reduce Risk & Prevent Damage

Regular pruning helps identify and remove potential hazards before they become serious problems. This protects your home, vehicles, and surrounding areas while reducing the risk of costly damage.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning is a procedure of removing branches evenly throughout a trees canopy to reduce the density without changing the trees shape or size. Crown-thinning can be used as an alternative solution for trees that are at risk of failure from strong storms/winds, and can help increase light aswell as the removal of dangerous branches that may pose a risk. Too much crown thinning can cause the tree to fail or withstand strong gusty wings.

Crown Reduction

Crown reduction is a process where we reduce the height and width of the trees canopy. We can also do this to reduce the stress on limbs and increasing volume under crowns which can lead to greater light absorption.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting is a process of which we increase the height between the lowest branches/ limbs and the ground making this clear for pedestrians and vehicles to pass without obstruction. Often clients may want to increase light into property or land. Please note that Tree owners have a responsibility to ensure trees do not pose a H&S risk along highways and footpaths therefore crown lifting may be a possibility.

Dead Wooding

Dead wooding is often carried out when the limbs of a tree die or they become weak and eventually fall off. Dead wooding is vital to ensure safety in public spaces and communal areas at home as often branches can fail. We do this by working throughout the canopy removing any visible dead wood to a growth point or main stem.

Pollarding

Pollarding is removing all branches and limbs to a growth knuckle whilst being careful to not cut around the collar so that the tree can grow callisis to prevent rot and decay setting in. Pollarding is perfect for trees in close proximity of properties and confined spaces or fast growing trees.

What our clients say about us

Irene Leonard 16 hours ago

Chris came and assessed the work we wanted.
Took time to explain what would be the best solution. Came the following week and completed the work , cleared up all the debris from the garden. Brilliant work. Polite and courteous. I would highly recommend this company.

Great experience with Dr Green Tree Care. Within a week of coming to look at my trees, they had sent me a written quote and texted me with a time and day when they could come and do the work. My trees were assessed by Chris and it was clear that he, and everybody else at Dr Green, knows about different types of trees and how to look after them properly. I chose them to do the work over other companies because I had confidence they knew what they were doing, and wouldn't damage my trees.

The crew who came to do the work were very polite and professional, did the work neatly and took all the waste away with them.

Thank you Dr Green Tree Care!

I’ve worked with a number of Tree Surgeons across the country in my role as an Arboriculturist, and Chris is certainly the most knowledgeable and conscientious contractor that I’ve come across.

He doesn’t just cut trees for the sake of it, and is always seeking ways that he can prolong the life of trees. I don’t recommend many Tree Surgeons, but Chris at Dr Green is one!

Aoife Drain 1 month ago

I contacted Chris regarding some trees in my garden that I felt needed removed. When he called out I was impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. He advised me that removal was drastic and instead removed dead branches only. I really appreciate his honest and professional approach to the work. Highly recommend.
