Tree pruning
Crown reduction in a back garden
Before and after a Sharp Hedges crown reduction, showing the change in the canopy above a garden fence and shed.

About this job
A smaller crown. The tree retained.
The paired photographs show the tree before and after crown work. The outer canopy has been reduced, while the trunk and main branch structure remain.
The garden fence, shed and planting provide a clear reference for the change in height and spread. This was work to retain the tree and reduce its crown, rather than remove it.
