Our crown reduction service involves the expert reduction of upper and outer branches using natural target pruning techniques.

This process is designed to make the overall crown of the tree smaller while maintaining its health and structural integrity.

Why Choose Crown Reduction?

Size Control Crown reduction is an effective method for controlling the size of your tree, ensuring it fits perfectly within your landscape.

Health and Safety By reducing the crown, we can mitigate the risk of branches becoming hazardous, especially in confined spaces or near structures.

Aesthetic Improvement Crown reduction enhances the visual appeal of the tree, giving it a more balanced and attractive appearance.

Preservation This technique allows us to preserve valuable trees that may have otherwise needed removal.

Our Expert Approach

Our skilled arborists are trained in the art and science of crown reduction. We carefully assess each tree’s unique needs and develop a customised plan that promotes its health and longevity.

Throughout the process, we prioritise safety, ensuring that your property and the tree itself remain protected. We take pride in our commitment to the well-being of your trees and the safety of your surroundings.

Crown Lifting

Crown lifting is a vital tree care service that involves the careful removal or pruning of lower branches to create clearance beneath the tree.

At Heartwood Tree Care, we specialize in this technique to enhance the beauty, safety, and functionality of your outdoor spaces.

Why Choose Crown Lifting?

Clearance Crown lifting provides the necessary clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, structures, or other features beneath the tree, improving accessibility and safety.

Light Penetration By lifting the crown, we allow more sunlight to reach the ground, benefiting both the tree’s health and the vegetation below.

Aesthetic Enhancement This technique can transform the visual appeal of your landscape by creating a more open and well-balanced canopy.

Airflow Improved airflow can reduce the risk of diseases and promote overall tree health.
