What is tree pruning, and does my tree need it?

Pruning is the careful removal of selected branches to improve a tree's shape, health and safety. It is not about cutting a tree back for the sake of it. Every cut has a purpose.

Done well, pruning helps a tree grow strong and stay safe for years to come. Done badly, it can do real harm. That is why it pays to use a qualified tree surgeon.

Signs it may be time to prune:

  • Dead, dying or diseased branches
  • Branches overhanging a neighbour's garden, a driveway or the road
  • Limbs growing too close to the house, roof or gutters
  • A dense crown blocking light from a window or garden
  • Storm damage or a split limb
  • A tree that has become top-heavy or unbalanced

If you are not sure what your tree needs, we will take a look and tell you honestly.

What kinds of tree pruning do you carry out?

Crown thinning

Opens the canopy and lets more light through without changing the tree's shape.

Crown lifting

Raises the lower branches to clear paths, driveways, cars and sightlines.

Deadwooding

Removes dead and hazardous branches before they come down on their own.

Crown reduction

Brings the overall size back in a controlled way while keeping a natural shape.

Formative pruning for younger trees

Sets up a strong structure early, so the tree grows well for years to come.
