PRUNING - CROWN LIFTING
KENT | ESSEX | LONDON
The team at The Original Tree Surgeons is dedicated to providing excellence when it comes to tree surgery services. Crown lifting is a tree pruning technique that involves removing the lower branches of a tree to increase the clearance between the ground and the lower canopy. This method is essential for improving access, visibility, and light penetration beneath the tree. Crown lifting is often performed to create space for pedestrians, vehicles, buildings, and other structures while maintaining the tree’s health and aesthetic appeal.
Because of our professional approach at getting jobs done quickly, efficiently, safely and cost effectively, we have many repeat customers. The reputation that we have built up over the years is down to our offering fair and honest pricing and respecting our clients’ property by leaving the property as tidy as we found it.
What are the benefits of crown lifting?
Crown lifting plays a crucial role in improving visibility. In both residential and commercial properties, low branches can obscure views, signage, and lighting. By raising the tree’s canopy, crown lifting enhances the visibility of important features, such as building facades, landscapes, and outdoor lighting. This can improve security and aesthetics, making your property more attractive and functional.
Another significant benefit of crown lifting is increased light penetration. Removing lower branches allows more sunlight to reach the ground, benefiting the grass and plants growing beneath the tree. This promotes a healthier and more vibrant landscape, preventing the area under the tree from becoming bare and shaded.
The process of crown lifting requires careful planning and execution to avoid damaging the tree. It’s essential to make precise cuts that promote healthy regrowth and prevent disease. An experienced arborist will know how to remove branches correctly, making cuts just outside the branch collar to minimise the risk of infection and encourage proper healing.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DO CROWN LIFTING?
Timing is also important when it comes to doing this pruning technique. The best time to do crown lifting is during the dormant season for deciduous trees (late autumn to early spring) to reduce stress and the risk of disease. For evergreen trees, late winter or early spring is ideal before new growth begins.
Regular crown lifting can help maintain the health, safety, and beauty of your trees. If you have trees with low-hanging branches that obstruct access or visibility, consider consulting a professional tree surgeon to discuss the benefits of crown lifting.
