Our core tree surgery service covers the full range of crown management techniques for commercial, amenity, highway and public open space trees.

All work is carried out to BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations by NPTC-qualified arborists under the supervision of experienced team leaders.

Tree Surgery & Crown Management

Services include:

  • Crown reduction – reducing the overall size of a tree while retaining its natural shape and structural integrity
  • Crown thinning – selectively removing branches to increase light and reduce wind resistance
  • Crown lifting – raising the lower canopy to improve clearance for vehicles, pedestrians or structures
  • Deadwood removal – removing dead, dying or structurally unsound branches to reduce the risk
  • Pollarding – cyclical removal of the upper branches, commonly used for street trees and amenity planting
  • Reshaping and formative pruning – corrective work to improve structure and long-term stability

Why it matters for commercial clients

For local authorities, property managers and businesses, poorly maintained trees represent a genuine liability risk. A tree that causes injury or property damage due to inadequate maintenance may expose the landowner to legal action. Our work is documented, standards-referenced and completed by accredited contractors — providing a clear audit trail for your records.

We have extensive experience with trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) and trees in Conservation Areas, and can advise on local authority notification requirements prior to commencement.
