Professional Crown Reduction Services in Hertfordshire

Professional Crown Reduction Services

Forestwood Services provides professional crown reduction services throughout Hertfordshire, reducing the overall size of tree crowns while maintaining tree health and natural shape. Crown reduction is an important tree maintenance technique that helps manage tree size, reduce weight on branches, improve light penetration, and enhance tree safety.

Our certified tree surgeons use proper crown reduction techniques that preserve tree structure and promote healthy regrowth. Crown reduction involves selectively removing branches to reduce the overall crown size, typically by 20-30% of the original size. This technique differs from tree topping, which is harmful to trees, as crown reduction maintains the tree's natural form and structure.

Crown reduction may be necessary for various reasons including reducing tree size to prevent interference with buildings or power lines, improving light levels in gardens, reducing wind resistance and storm damage risk, managing tree weight to prevent branch failure, and maintaining tree health through selective pruning. Our crown reduction services are fully insured and carried out by qualified tree surgeons.
