Why hire a tree cutting service

A regular tree cutting service is needed for several reasons, from letting more light through and reducing the shade falling below it, that might affect plant life or just your family's enjoyment when they sit underneath it; to improve the overall shape and structure to make it more visually appealing; to get rid of any dangerous, damaged or diseased branches; to reduce the load as the wind blows through it; or to create space between it and a nearby structure or adjacent tree are just some of them!

Maintenance is an essential responsibility of looking after the trees on your property and under a guided care program we can help also to stimulate its growth and keep it looking healthy and beautiful. We also offer a coppicing and tree pollarding service. We would never advise attempting to prune or trim a tree yourself, unless you are a qualified and trained arborist because both tree cutting and the task of conifer trimming are very delicate procedures and can cause more damage if too big a branch is removed for example, which could allow disease to enter the tree via the wound.


Our arborists bring a high standard of care to the work that they do to provide a safe and efficient tree care program for commercial and domestic customers in Northampton and the surrounding areas of Northamptonshire, protecting the health of their trees, enhancing their aesthetic appeal and ensuring a healthy future.


Reasons for conifer trimming

Conifer trimming plays a crucial role in preserving the health and enhancing the visual appeal so it's important to maintain them as needed. But it's not a one size fits all - with their diverse shapes and growth patterns, different conifer species require specific trimming techniques to ensure optimal growth and maintain desired forms.


The majestic and towering Monterey Pine, for example, benefits from selective pruning, which involves removing dead or diseased branches. By doing this, the tree is provided with better airflow, reducing the risk of fungal infections and promoting overall vitality. The selective trimming approach helps maintain the tree's natural beauty while safeguarding its health.


In contrast, the Blue Spruce, known for its compact and symmetrical shape, might require more regular shearing. This involves trimming the outermost foliage to maintain its desired form and density. By shearing the Blue Spruce, it retains its neat appearance and prevents the branches from becoming overly crowded or uneven.


Another example is the fast-growing Leyland Cypress. This conifer often necessitates frequent and rigorous trimming to control its height and prevent it from becoming unruly. By regularly pruning the uppermost branches, the Leyland Cypress can be maintained at a desired size and shape, making it an ideal hedge or privacy screen.


Understanding the unique characteristics of different conifers is crucial when approaching their trimming. Factors such as growth rate, natural shape, and susceptibility to disease influence the specific techniques employed. By tailoring the trimming approach to each conifer species, we ensure the trees' health, longevity, and aesthetic appeal are preserved.


Difference between tree trimming and tree pruning


The terms trimming and pruning are often used interchangeably but there is a core difference between the two methods. Tree or conifer trimming involves branches being removed to assimilate the shape of a tree and make it more symmetrical looking, or if the trees starts to compromise the safety of a property by coming to near it for example.

But pruning is undertaken to preserve the health of the tree. In the most part this will involved removing dead or diseased branches to preserve and enhance it's life and longevity. Pruning is a vital aspect of tree and shrub care Northampton clients of ours will agree because branches need to be balanced and spread evenly across the trunk and pruning allows an even distribution of foliage to be created on both sides of the tree which leads to better health overall.

Whether your tree is in need of cutting, trimming or pruning, we would be happy to help. Call today with any questions and if we are out on site please leave a message.
