PRUNING – CROWN REDUCTIONS
KENT | ESSEX | LONDON
Do you have a tree that feels like it is getting too big? Pruning is a fundamental aspect of tree maintenance, and crown reductions are a specific type of pruning aimed at reducing the overall size of a tree or shrub. This process this is used to reduce the height and spread of the crown of a tree by removing the ends of branches whilst maintaining the tree's natural shape as far as practicable. Consider it like giving your tree a haircut!
We are highly trained, experienced tree surgeons providing crown reduction services in Kent, Essex and London. Our love of trees means that we will take the care to prune your tree with the attention it deserves, so that it is happier and healthier once we have completed the crown reduction. We provide a prompt and reliable service and offer free estimates and advice to all our clients, whether residential or commercial.
Crown reductions are typically necessary for various reasons, such as managing the growth of trees in confined spaces, preventing interference with power lines, reducing shade over gardens, and mitigating risks posed by large, overgrown trees. The goal is to achieve a balance between maintaining the tree’s natural shape and size and ensuring it does not pose a hazard or become a nuisance.
What is the process of crown reduction?
The process of crown reduction requires precise cuts to ensure the tree’s health is not compromised. Incorrect pruning can lead to damage, disease, and unsightly growth patterns. Therefore, it’s essential to hire a qualified arborist who understands the best practices for tree reduction. At The Original Tree Surgeons, we know how to make proper cuts just above a bud or branch, which encourages healthy regrowth and prevents dieback.
When should you do tree pruning?
Timing is also critical when it comes to tree pruning reductions. Different tree species have specific periods when pruning is most beneficial. For example, deciduous trees are often pruned during the dormant season (late autumn to early spring) to minimise stress and reduce the risk of disease. In contrast, evergreens might be pruned in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
THE BENEFITS OF TREE REDUCTION
By removing excess weight from the branches, tree reductions help prevent limb breakage and reduce the risk of storm damage. In addition, reductions can also promote better fruit and flower production. By allowing more light and air to penetrate the canopy, pruning helps stimulate new growth and improve the quality of blooms and fruits.
If you have trees that are outgrowing their space or posing a potential hazard, consider professional pruning and crown reduction services. Our experienced tree surgeons can assess your trees’ needs and carry out reductions that will enhance their health, appearance, and safety.
