Our team take a real pride in their work and crown reduction when done well is really a living artform. Our climbers are all college trained but more importantly they have an experienced eye for a trees natural shape and balance.
The Beech tree here was a mature specimen in good condition and the customer loved it for its shape and prominence in the garden. They wanted to maintain direct sunlight into certain other borders in the garden and were a little concerned that it could be damaged by winter storms.
Most of this work was carried out with a specialist hand saw rather than a chainsaw which we find is the best tool for lighter tree pruning jobs. Often even on mature trees the diameter of the finished pruning cuts is mostly below 50 mm or 2 inches.
As you can see from these photos the finished form of the tree is fairly natural and once in leaf it will not be obvious that this tree has had any work.
So, if you have mature garden trees that you wish to maintain with the care and skill that they deserve, please do get in touch – we will be pleased to advise.
