Tree surgery

Pollard

Commonly known for the removal of all branches from the trunk.  Regular (Annual/ Biannual),  pruning back of small branches to the same point can be an option, resulting in the formation of a 'pollard head'. Mature trees that have not been pollard are generally, not suitable candidates for pollarding due to the large wounds produced, as this may jeopardise the long term future of the tree. Pollarded trees usually require regular treatment of re-growth.​

​Tree dismantling/ Felling

Sectional felling or dismantling techniques are used for trees which cannot be felled for reasons of space or proximity to vulnerable structures.
This is carried out when trees are decaying, dead or  to do with their location to properties, buildings, highways, gardens or even other trees. ​

Crown reduction

Crown reductions are used to reduce the overall height and spread of the canopy and helps reduce the shading area cast. This is achieved by removing selected branches to create the required size and shape but making sure enough leaf bearing structure remains.

Crown thinning

Crown thinning is used to make the canopy less dense, which will allow more sunlight to pass through the tree, and lessen the trees resistance to wind. Thinning is achieved by removing selected smaller branches usually towards the outer crown. Crown thinning does not always alter the overall size and shape of the tree.

Crown lifting

This increases the light allowed to pass through to areas nearest to the tree and enables better access underneath the. The end result is an increased height to the base of the crown
This is achieved by removing the lowest limbs or the partial removal of matured larger limbs.
