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.

I can’t recommend Dr Green Tree care highly enough. From start to finish, the team were absolutely amazing. They were professional, friendly, and clearly experienced in what they do. They arrived on time, worked efficiently and handled the job with great care and attention to detail. They left everything spotless and even tidier than before they arrived. The whole experience was stress free and the quality of work was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate using Dr Green Tree Care again or recommend them to anyone. Thank you for an amazing job.

Contacted dr green tree to price a job to trim back trees that are overhanging my garden. He could have easily quoted and took the job but instead he advised I didnt need to pay and how to arrange for the responsible contractor to do the job. No call out charged. I am so impressed with this company. Very genuine.

The 2 guys were very efficient, very professional, and very polite. Made a seemingly difficult job of taking out 5 tree stumps in difficult locations with very little room to work , very simple and straight forward. Could not have chosen a better company to do this work. Delighted with their work, and tidied everything up before they left.
