Tree pruning is the mainstay of our work and we take a personal pride and pleasure in
performing all pruning operations to the highest of standards. The wrong type of surgery and poor pruning cuts can lead to disease and even result in the death of what was an otherwise healthy tree. All arborists working on any tree should be properly qualified, experienced and carrying out all pruning works with due regard to the relevant British Standards. The type of pruning works that may be required differ according to location, specie and time of year. This is where the knowledge and experience of a professional arborist cannot be underestimated ~ beware of those who suggest a 'lop & top' Pruning operations can largely be divided into five main categories; Crown thinning is the selective removal of branches to increase light penetration and air movement through the crown. Thinning opens the foliage of a tree and reduces weight on heavy limbs, without compromising the tree's natural shape. Crown lifting removes the lower branches from a tree in order to allow more light through and provides clearance and prevention of damage to and from buildings, vehicles and pedestrians. Crown reductions reduce the size of a tree, accomplished by pruning back the leaders and branch terminals to lateral branches that are large enough to assume the terminal roles (at least one-third the diameter of the cut stem). This type of surgery maintains the natural form and structural integrity of the tree. Pollarding is the complete removal of all branches from the trunk. A very heavy form of surgery to be used with caution and only on appropriate species. Dead wooding the removal of deadwood, diseased or damaged branches from the crown of the tree |
