It's In Our Nature

Pollarding is a tree management technique involving the removal of upper branches to encourage a dense growth of new shoots. This process is typically carried out at a specific height, often to maintain trees at a manageable size, improve their structure, or promote healthier regrowth. Pollarding is commonly used in urban areas to prevent trees from interfering with buildings, power lines, or traffic, while also prolonging their lifespan. It can also be used to enhance biodiversity by creating habitats for wildlife.

Despite their natural beauty and providing shade, there are various reasons why a tree needs to be felled. A diseased tree that can infect others; one leaning dangerously to power cables, or you simply want more light and air to darker sections of your garden and home.

Crown reduction involves shortening the height and spread of a tree, giving it a round natural look. If your tree is overgrown with a lot of dead weight, a crown reduction can give it life again. Crown reduction helps increase light penetration to tree branches as well as dark and damp areas, making the tree more suited to its environment.

Crown thinning is a pruning method that doesn’t reduce the height and spread of your tree but reduces the foliage around the outer crown. Crown lifting or raising involves the removal of the lowest branches of a tree.
