What Is Crown Thinning And Deadwooding?

Thinning reduces how dense the canopy is so more daylight gets through. Deadwooding removes dead, broken or hanging branches. Done properly, the tree still looks natural.

Common Jobs I Do

I check what’s underneath and nearby before I start. If it’s a protected tree (TPO or conservation area), I’ll tell you what applies and help you check.
