Tree Care
Crown Reducing
Careful reduction that keeps a tree’s natural shape.
Overview
Crown reducing carefully lowers the height and spread of a tree’s canopy while retaining a balanced natural form. It is often requested where a tree has outgrown its position, is shading a property or is causing concern near boundaries and structures.
Common reasons for this service
- A tree has become too large for its garden setting
- Excessive shade over lawns, patios or windows
- Branches approaching a house, boundary or outbuilding
- Reducing wind sail on tall or exposed trees
- Restoring proportion after previous heavy work
