Reducing or encouraging the canopy of a tree has a huge effect on how it looks. Crown lifting increases the space and light beneath a tree, whilst crown reduction creates more space above the tree. Adapting the crown of your tree can completely change its look and how it fits into your garden.
Crown lifting removes lower branches to give other plants some space or simply to give you more headroom. It can keep branches away from buildings and open up views which have previously been blocked.
Crown reduction decreases the height of your tree but maintains the looks and splendour of its shape. Branches are cut in a manner which will ensure they quickly heal and form a new, lower crown.
Adapting the crown of your tree can have a dramatic effect – and we’re more than happy to advise on which option will work best for you. Both options reduce the weight of the tree and can prolong its life and vibrancy.
