Crown lifts over paths, drives and lawns.

Lower branches taken off to give clearance for paths, drives, parked cars, pedestrians or the neighbour's fence. A standard piece of arb work, neatly done, with cuts at the right collar so the tree heals over.

What’s Included

Every crown lifts job, four basics covered.

Scope scales with the tree. These four are non-negotiable on every job.
01 / 04

Driveway Clearance

Branches lifted to give clearance over cars and access. We aim for 3 to 4 metres above tarmac as standard.

02 / 04

Path & Pavement Lifts

Public pavements lifted to local authority spec (usually 2.4 m) so the council does not need to come back.

03 / 04

Garden Light Recovery

Lower limbs taken off to bring daylight back to lawns and borders without losing the canopy above.

04 / 04

Neighbour Boundaries

Overhanging branches taken back to the boundary, with notification to the neighbour where appropriate.

Frequently Asked

Common questions, plainly answered.

What height do you lift to?

Domestic gardens usually 2.5 to 3 metres above ground. Driveways and roads usually 4 to 5 metres above tarmac. We agree the spec on the quote visit.

Will lifting harm the tree?

A modest crown lift is one of the lower-impact pieces of arb work. Removing more than about a third of the live canopy in one visit is not recommended on mature trees.

Can you lift a hedge?

Yes. A hedge crown-lift takes the lower limbs off a row of trees that has grown into a tall hedge, giving back garden space underneath. Very common ask on conifer rows.

Does the council need to know?

Only if the tree has a TPO or is in a conservation area. Otherwise it is a private gardening matter on a private tree.
