Professional Crown Thinning Services in Hertfordshire

Professional Crown Thinning Services

Forestwood Services provides professional crown thinning services throughout Hertfordshire, selectively removing branches throughout the tree crown to improve light penetration, reduce wind resistance, and enhance tree health. Crown thinning is a valuable tree maintenance technique that maintains the tree's overall size and shape while improving light and air flow.

Our certified tree surgeons use proper crown thinning techniques that preserve tree structure and promote healthy growth. Crown thinning involves selectively removing smaller branches throughout the crown, typically removing 15-25% of the foliage, while maintaining the tree's natural shape and structure. This technique differs from crown reduction, which reduces the overall crown size.

Crown thinning provides several benefits including improved light penetration to gardens and buildings below, reduced wind resistance and storm damage risk, enhanced air circulation through the crown, better tree health through selective branch removal, and maintained tree size and shape. Our crown thinning services are fully insured and carried out by qualified tree surgeons.
