If a much loved tree is blocking light into your property, crown thinning is a very effective solution. By selectively and evenly removing inner branches from the crown, we can increase the amount of light getting through without altering the tree’s natural shape. This method also benefits the tree by improving air flow through its canopy whilst maintaining its integrity.
As with all our work we will assess the tree, and your requirements, to discuss the amount of thinning which needs to be carried out – to meet your needs and keep the tree healthy.
This method also reduces the wind resistance of the tree – making it much more stable during storms and high winds.
We will reduce the number of inner branches to create a balance between increasing light and maintaining the structure and shape of your tree.
This technique results in a balanced shape which allows your tree to regrow from the established growth points we leave in place.
