Crown Lifting
Crown lifting removes lower branches to give better clearance beneath the tree – ideal for driveways, paths, or simply opening up your outdoor space. In Horam, where many properties have larger gardens or overhanging hedgerows, this can help tidy up boundaries or make mowing and garden access easier.
We’ll always assess the tree’s structure to maintain a balanced shape and avoid putting stress on the upper crown.
Pollarding
Pollarding is a more intensive method of pruning where the upper branches of a tree are removed to promote dense, compact regrowth. While not suitable for all species, it’s commonly used on willows, planes, and other trees that respond well to this technique.
Pollarding is often requested for managing trees in tighter urban areas, where space is limited and visual uniformity is important. Our team is fully trained in identifying suitable candidates for pollarding and executing it safely with long-term health in mind.
