What is Tree Pollarding?
Tree pollarding is a specialised pruning technique where the upper branches of a tree are removed, promoting a dense head of foliage and branches. This method dates back centuries and was originally used to produce fodder for livestock and wood for fuel. Today, pollarding is primarily used to control tree size, manage health, and maintain the aesthetic appearance of urban landscapes.
Benefits of Tree Pollarding
Regulated Growth: Pollarding controls the size and shape of trees, making them suitable for urban environments where space is limited.
Safety: Removing large branches reduces the risk of falling limbs, protecting people and property from potential hazards.
Health: Regular pollarding can promote the health of trees by removing diseased or dead branches and encouraging vigorous new growth.
Aesthetic Appeal: Well-maintained trees enhance the visual appeal of your property. Pollarding can create attractive shapes and dense foliage, contributing to the landscape’s beauty.
Longevity: Proper pollarding can extend the lifespan of trees by preventing overcrowding and reducing the risk of structural failure.
Why and When is Pollarding Needed?
Pollarding is beneficial for various reasons and is particularly suited to urban and residential settings:
Space Management: In densely populated areas, controlling tree size is crucial to prevent interference with buildings, power lines, and other infrastructure.
Health Maintenance: Removing dead or diseased branches helps prevent the spread of disease and pests.
Seasonal Management: Pollarding during specific seasons can optimize tree health and growth. For most species, late winter or early spring is ideal.
Aesthetic and Functional Purposes: Trees pollarded for decorative purposes need regular maintenance to retain their shape and density.

Our Pollarding Process
At Chigwell Tree Services, we follow a meticulous and systematic approach to tree pollarding. Our process is designed to ensure the health of your trees while achieving the desired aesthetic and safety outcomes.
Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough assessment of your tree and its environment. Our experts will discuss your goals and any specific concerns you may have.
Evaluation and Planning: We evaluate the species, age, and health of the tree to determine the best time and method for pollarding. Different species require different approaches, and timing is crucial to minimize stress on the tree.
Permitting: If necessary, we obtain the required permissions from local authorities. This step ensures that our work complies with local regulations and standards.
Execution: Using professional tools and techniques, our team carefully removes the upper branches. We ensure clean cuts to promote healthy regrowth and prevent disease.
Cleanup: Post-pollarding, we clear away all debris, leaving your property tidy. The removed branches can be chipped and used as mulch or disposed of responsibly.
Aftercare: We provide guidance on post-pollarding care to ensure your tree remains healthy. This includes watering, monitoring for pests or diseases, and scheduling future maintenance.
The Cost of Tree Pollarding
The cost of tree pollarding can vary based on several factors:
Tree Size and Species: Larger trees or those with complex branch structures may require more time and resources.
Location: Trees in hard-to-reach areas or those near power lines may incur additional costs.
Frequency: Regular maintenance can be more cost-effective than sporadic, intensive pruning.
Permitting: Obtaining permits may add to the overall cost, depending on local regulations.
At Chigwell Tree Services, we provide transparent, upfront pricing. During our initial consultation, we offer a detailed quote that outlines all potential costs, ensuring there are no surprises.
Understanding Crown Lifting
Crown lifting is a specialised tree maintenance technique that involves the removal of the lower branches of a tree. This process helps increase the clearance between the ground and the canopy, improving accessibility and visibility. It’s often used to clear pathways, driveways, and roadways, enhance the aesthetics of a landscape, and promote the health of the tree by allowing more light to penetrate through the canopy.
Our Crown Lifting Process
- Initial Consultation
Our crown lifting process begins with a thorough consultation. Our certified arborists will assess your tree's condition, its surroundings, and your specific requirements. This helps us develop a customised plan tailored to your needs.
- Detailed Assessment
We conduct a detailed assessment to determine which branches need removal. This involves evaluating the tree’s health, structure, and the desired clearance level. We ensure that the tree remains balanced and healthy after the lifting process.
- Safety Measures
Safety is our top priority. We implement stringent safety protocols to protect our team, your property, and the tree itself. We use advanced equipment and techniques to perform the work efficiently and safely.
- Precision Cutting
Using professional tools, our skilled arborists carefully remove the selected lower branches. This precision ensures minimal stress to the tree, promoting healthy regrowth and reducing the risk of disease or decay.
- Cleanup and Debris Removal
After completing the crown lifting, we ensure your property is left clean and tidy. We remove all debris and branches, disposing of them responsibly, so you don’t have to worry about any mess.
Benefits of Crown Lifting
- Improved Accessibility
Crown lifting increases clearance beneath the tree, making it easier to walk, drive, or place structures underneath. It’s particularly useful for clearing pathways, driveways, and public roads.
- Enhanced Aesthetics
Removing the lower branches can significantly improve the visual appeal of your landscape, giving your trees a well-maintained and balanced look.
- Better Light and Air Penetration
Crown lifting allows more light and air to reach the ground and surrounding plants, promoting healthier growth and reducing dampness and mold issues.
- Increased Safety
By removing low-hanging branches, crown lifting reduces the risk of injury to people and damage to property, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Tree Health and Longevity
Properly performed crown lifting can enhance the health of the tree by improving light and air circulation within the canopy, reducing the likelihood of disease and promoting vigorous growth.

When and Why Crown Lifting is Needed
- Clearance for Accessibility
When low-hanging branches obstruct pathways, driveways, or roadways, crown lifting provides the necessary clearance for safe and easy passage.
- Aesthetic Improvement
To enhance the visual appeal of your property, crown lifting can give your trees a more balanced and attractive appearance.
- Light and Air Penetration
To improve the health of the lawn and plants under the tree, crown lifting allows better light and air penetration, promoting healthier growth.
- Safety Concerns
In high-traffic areas, low branches can pose safety hazards. Crown lifting reduces the risk of injury and property damage.
- Tree Health Maintenance
To promote the overall health of the tree, crown lifting improves light and air circulation within the canopy, reducing the risk of disease.
