Crown Lift

If you want the crown of your tree to be higher, or to let more light through to other plants below, a crown lift may be what you need.

By removing your tree’s lower branches, the canopy climbs higher, which helps to limit the extent of the shadow it casts on other plants nearby.

Crown Thinning/Deadwooding

While it may seem a touch counterintuitive, sometimes the best way to support your tree’s growth is to make sure its canopy doesn’t get too big with crown thinning.

By removing dead branches and wood and pruning cross branches, you can decrease the size of the tree’s canopy, which serves several purposes.

Felling

Simply put, this is the process of tree removal

Depending upon the location and species of the tree or trees you need to remove, it may be best to take them apart in pieces.

Stump Grinding/Removal

Once felled, the next step is often to get rid of the stump of the tree and any roots.

Stump grinding is more or less what it sounds like, grinding down a stump to remove the unprepossessing obstacle from a landscape.

This is a relatively simple and non-disruptive procedure.

Pollarding

Pollarding is a method of pruning that keeps trees and shrubs smaller than they would naturally grow. It is normally started once a tree or shrub reaches a certain height, and annual pollarding will restrict the plant to that height.

Crown Reduction & Reshaping

Performed to reduce the height and spread of a tree by cutting back branches to reduce the size of the crown, typically by 20-30%. This is normally done to decrease “wind-loading” on the tree which helps prevent crown damage and breakages.
