Crown Reduction Services EssexThere are various services that Tree Surgeon Essex offer. Crown thinning, crown lifting and pollarding are techniques used to bring out the best of your trees. Also included as part of our tree cutting service is crown reduction.
Like all of these methods, undertaking a crown reduction involves a considerable amount of skill and knowledge, as it needs to be done whilst inflicting as little harm to the tree as possible. The team at Tree Surgeon Essex have the skills, knowledge and resources to execute a crown reduction with the precision and skill that the job requires. The aim of reducing the crown of a tree is to prune back the outmost edge of the new intended canopy so that the greenery is, ideally, still left intact. With appropriate pruning cuts, the limbs of a tree are shortened which helps to keep the original shape of the tree. A crown reduction is a technique used to decrease the size of a tree and make it smaller by removing the weight from the end of branches back to a healthy, growing branch. This will eventually form a new crown. |

Advantages of a crown reduction:
• In the event of high winds or icy weather – it can prevent major damage
• In a tree that is making no growth progress – it can encourage new growth
• In a tree that is more mature – it can prevent torsional cracks. Torsional cracks is a term used to describe branches that twist until they form long crossway cracks and hinder growth.
Get a crown reduction to help bring life back to your tree. We can assess which branches to remove to encourage healthy, lateral branch growth. This will balance the crown and leave two thirds of it in place after a completed reduction.
