Tree pruning is essential for maintaining healthy, safe and attractive trees. When carried out correctly, it improves structure, reduces risk, and promotes long-term growth. When done poorly, it can cause lasting damage.

At Four Seasons Tree Care, we provide professional tree pruning services across Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, working to British Standard BS3998 to ensure the highest quality results.

Why Proper Pruning Matters

Tree Health

Removing dead, diseased or damaged branches improves airflow, reduces infection risk and supports healthy development.

Safety

Overgrown or weakened branches can pose risks to buildings, roads and public spaces — especially during high winds.

Professional pruning reduces the likelihood of failure.

Appearance

Careful crown reduction or thinning enhances a tree’s natural shape without harsh cutting or over-reduction.

When Is the Best Time to Prune?

The ideal timing depends on the species and the objective.

  • Winter is often best for structural pruning of deciduous trees.
  • Summer can help manage growth and reduce weight on heavy limbs.

Some species require specific timing, so professional advice is always recommended.

Working Within Local Regulations

Many areas of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire are covered by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area restrictions.

We can advise on permissions and ensure all work complies with local authority requirements.
