Why Choose Crown Reduction?

Crown reduction is an essential tree pruning technique used to decrease the overall size of a tree, ensuring it remains in proportion to its surroundings. This process relieves stress on individual branches, reduces the risk of damage, and improves the tree’s overall structure. By carefully removing and managing specific branches, our skilled team ensures the tree retains its natural shape while minimising unnecessary harm.

We also offer complementary services, including:

  • Crown thinning: To improve air circulation and light penetration through the tree's canopy.
  • Crown lifting: To remove branches from the lower part of the tree, enhancing clearance for walkways or driveways.
  • Tree removal: For trees that present a hazard or have reached the end of their lifespan.

Enhancing Tree Health & Safety

At Chigwell Tree Services, we prioritise the health and safety of your trees and the surrounding environment. Dead branches or poorly maintained trees can pose a risk to property and people. Our expert team works diligently to remove dead or compromised branches, minimising hazards while extending the longevity of your trees. Proper maintenance also reduces the likelihood of weakening your trees, helping to keep them strong and vibrant.

Common Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Crown reduction is a tree pruning technique that involves reducing the overall size of the tree's canopy. This is achieved by carefully cutting back branches to a growth point, maintaining the natural shape of the tree while reducing its height and spread.
Crown reduction is typically needed when a tree becomes too large for its environment. It can help address issues such as excessive shading, overhanging branches, or potential hazards caused by storms or high winds. It’s also a great option if the tree is interfering with nearby buildings, power lines, or blocking sunlight.
When performed by qualified tree surgeons, crown reduction does not harm the tree. At Chigwell Tree Service, we use precise and professional techniques to ensure the tree remains healthy while achieving the desired results.
The frequency of crown reduction depends on the type of tree and its growth rate. On average, it could be every 3 to 5 years, although this can vary. We provide guidance tailored to your specific tree and property requirements.

No, crown reduction and topping are very different practices. Topping is a more aggressive and outdated method that can harm the tree, whereas crown reduction focuses on pruning to growth points to preserve the tree’s health and structure.

Costs for crown reduction can vary depending on factors such as tree size, species, and access. At Chigwell Tree Service, we provide free, no-obligation quotes to give you a clear understanding of the work and costs involved.
