A measured reduction in the height and spread of the canopy. Less weight on the limbs, more daylight to the lawn, no scalped tree left behind.
An even reduction in height and spread, keeping the natural outline of the tree. Usually 15-25% in one visit.
Where the tree has run over a boundary, conservatory or garage. Taken back without unbalancing the rest of the canopy.
After wind or snow damage, bringing the surviving canopy back into proportion. Often staged over two visits for badly affected trees.
Written notes on how the tree is likely to respond and when (if ever) it will need a follow-up reduction.
A crown reduction specifically lowers the height and pulls in the spread of the live canopy. A tree reduction is the umbrella term: it covers crown reductions, crown thinning, crown lifts and combinations of those.
No. A reduction done to BS 3998 stays well within the live canopy and is a standard piece of arboricultural management. Tree species respond differently though, so we tailor the spec to suit.
Most domestic crown reductions are a half-day to a day job for a single tree, depending on access, height and how the brash is taken away.
Yes. Logs cut to whatever length you want and stacked wherever suits. We tend to leave them; you tend to burn them.
