Crown Lifting and Thinning Northampton

Professional Crown Reduction, Lifting & Thinning

Large trees in particular are very majestic but when it has a large canopy or 'crown' that is not maintained it can turn into a danger hazard to nearby buildings, overhead wires and also to adjacent trees so the safety cost is immeasurable. At home in your garden, a tree with an overgrown crown can prevent light from coming through it which means any plant life underneath cannot thrive. And when trees have large crowns this leads to them having heavy branches that, without the work of a trained professional to maintain it, have the capability to cause danger. Because of their often enormous size, these large branches or 'limbs' are likely to be distorted and a controlled procedure to remove the weight is one of the ways to ensure that it stays safe. So investing in tree crown reduction cost is well worth it on many fronts. As well as reducing the branches, a professional operation also promotes healthier growth because cutting back just above leaf joints on trees results in more lightening without having an excessive amount of branches.

Our tree cutting team are experienced and trained in the three different methods of reducing a tree's canopy weight, adjusting the shape or aesthetic and/or making it safe: crown reduction, crown lifting and crown thinning.  Oak trees and other mature large trees are the prime candidates for regular crown reduction and as it is a complex and delicate operation where a tree can be harmed by misguided cuts, only qualified professionals should be hired to undertake this work. Crown reduction is a specialist skill and there is a risk of permanently damaging majestic old trees if the practitioner is not experienced enough.

Not all tree surgeons offer a crown reduction service because it requires the knowledge and qualification of an arborist. Only those with deep understanding of how to perform reduction techniques safely and efficiently and advise on how the tree should behave afterwards should perform this operation. It is absolutely essential to invest in tree crown reduction cost by a certified professional because if the procedure isn't performed with the guidance of a certified professional, it could damage the entire thing which might ultimately lead to it having to be felled and removed which would be a great shame if it happened.
