A crown reduction is a decrease in the size of the crown. This is carried out carefully to retain a natural shape. 

Re-shaping

Felling
Tree removal. Trees are taken down as near as possible to ground level or alternatively, may be left as a high stump to benefit local wildlife.

Crown Cleaning
Removing dead or defective branches, or branches that have grown across one another. Usually carried out for safety reasons.

Crown Thinning
Removing branches from within the crown of a tree without reducing the height or the spread. This prevents the tree from becoming too dense thus preventing the tree from casting too much shade and also allows more daylight into nearby properties whilst retaining the tree’s size. It also helps to prevent wind damage by allowing the wind to blow through the crown more freely.

Crown Lifting
The removal of lower branches to allow room beneath the tree for passing vehicles, mowing, pedestrians etc and also to alleviate shading of ground planting.

Pollarding
This is a tree surgery technique for controlling a tree’s size. This method is often used for street trees and trees in a confined area. It involves the removal of branches at a given height. Pollarding must be carried out regularly for safety reasons and to maintain the tree to the desired size.

Stump Grinding
