Tree Trimming & Pruning
Keep your tree healthy and safe
Anyone, domestic or commercial, who has a tree in their proximity knows what a visual impact it can have on its surrounding area. For many people, keeping the tree well trimmed and pruned is a great way to keep it looking neat and tidy. But tree trimming and pruning isn’t just about the visuals. Trimming, pruning, and thinning can help to keep the tree healthy and safe, reduce the risk of storm damage, and boost light.
Trimming and pruning are an important part of your tree maintenance, and here at Tall Tree Services, our professional tree surgeons have the knowledge and expertise to carry out your work safely and efficiently.
We offer a range of tree trimming and pruning services, carried out by our qualified tree surgeons in the Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.
Crown Lift
A tree’s crown is the top of the tree, where the branches and leaves are. This area sometimes needs to be manipulated and controlled according to what the space is being used for.
Crown lifting is a process whereby a tree surgeon clears an area between the lower branches of the tree and the ground, although they would not normally remove larger branches, even if they are low down. It is most commonly used so that there is space underneath the tree’s branches for people to walk, or to give more light underneath the tree, especially in the summer.
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is a more general reduction in the crown, with our professional tree surgeon paying particular attention to reducing stress on branches (by taking weight off them), spreading the load, and making the tree look as visually appealing as possible. It can also be used to balance the tree, particularly if branches were lost during a storm or other event.
The result is a more balanced, healthy tree that looks great, whilst keeping the tree’s natural shape, as well as letting in more light.
Crown Thinning
The tree’s crown is the part where the branches and leaves are, and has an important role in its health. A dense tree crown can lead to problems with the health of the tree due to the fact that the proximity of branches and leaves can lead to the spread of disease, and it can also make it more susceptible to high winds and storms. This is why crown thinning services are an essential part of tree care.
Our expert tree surgeons in the Gloucester area can carry out crown thinning, ensuring that the tree remains healthy and that more light is let through to the ground below. It will functionally and aesthetically impact the way that the tree grows.
Deadwood Removal
As a tree grows, there will always be a certain number of branches that die and break off. This ‘dead wood’ can not only add extra weight to the tree’s crown, but also potentially fall down and damage or injure people. It is, therefore, important that deadwood is removed on a regular basis by tree trimming services, ensuring safety for everyone in the vicinity.
