Crown Raising / Crown Lifting
We can create light and space with our simple crown lift service
Do you have a tree that’s blocking the light to your home or overhanging and causing obstruction or preventing access?
Sometimes people feel that a tree needs to be felled to overcome this problem, but this is not always the case. We can usually solve this problem with a simple crown lift.
What exactly is Crown Lifting?
Our crown lifting process involves removing the lower branches and limbs of trees so that an area underneath is created to the desired amount. It’s a very common way of keeping your tree but adapting it to fit in with the surrounding environment in a more functional way.
Some Examples where we would use our crown lifting service
To create more space in your garden.
Crown lifting removes all those unwanted lower branches that overhang, this will create more space and make your garden seem a lot bigger in the process
To clear branches that fall over onto streets and roads.
Our tree-lined streets look great in the UK but they need to be managed so they do not visually obstruct people that drive motor vehicles along these roadways. Lifting the crowns solves these issues and makes for safer roads. Also these obstructive branches can indeed cause health and safety problems for pedestrians walking below these overgrown trees. Our crown lifting will remove all the lower branches making it safe again, and at the same time maintaining the tree’s future health.
Crown Thinning
Our tree crown thinning service involves the removal of selected secondary branches, which in the process transforms and balances the tree crowns structure, without altering the shape and size of the tree’s crown. This will improve the natural light levels that are allowed to travel through the canopy, which in turn will cause a reduction in the tree’s shading abilities. Crown thinning a tree also has other benefits such as, reduction of wind-flow and loading stress on the limbs, and removal of all the dead and weak branches that will produce a superior balanced structured tree. Our crown thinning select service can be tailored to mostly broad-leaved trees and fruit trees.
Crown Reduction
Our crown Reduction service is where we reduce your tree crowns overall shape. Crown reductions are one of our most popular techniques used around Nottingham and West Bridgford for pruning trees. This is where we trim the external foliage from the outer layer and into the crown of the tree, thus reducing the overall size and shape of the tree. When we are completing this type of reduction work, our cuts are usually made as a bud or as close as we can get to one of the partner limbs. This ensures that our tree will maintain its health and vitality and not succumb to disease or any of the trees limbs from dying. The benefits of this crown reducing strategy include weight reduction for the overall tree, which offers protection against adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, that can cause branches to unfortunately snap and become a health hazard due to the trees unbalance,
Pollarding
Pollarding is a method we use for pruning trees and shrubs to smaller size than they would naturally grow to. This process is normally started as soon as a tree or shrub reaches a certain required size and height, and an annual pollarding will keep and restrict that tree or shrub to that height. The act of pollarding a mature tree is most often carried out as a last resort, rather than dismantling a fully mature tree.
