CROWN REDUCTION LINTON

Crown Lifting

The meaning ‘Crown Reduction’ is the process of reducing the canopy of a tree. This type of tree surgery can be necessary for many reasons, including preventing damage during wind and storms or providing more space near power lines and buildings. A crown reduction can be a fantastic way to improve a tree’s overall appearance. When it comes to crowning, you can rely on Linton Tree Surgeons. Please continue reading for more information about how it works and the service we offer.

Reducing the crown of a tree is a method of pruning that will decrease the overall density and size of a tree canopy. Tree crown reduction (or crown thinning as it is sometimes referred to) will give more air and light exposure to the tree, allowing the growth of other branches. Trees such as maples really benefit from crown reduction as it decreases the amount of sap they produce.

At Linton Tree Surgeons, our highly-trained experts are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality of service. When performing a crown reduction, we always strive to retain the natural aesthetic beauty of the tree while removing any dead or diseased branches. We will usually begin by gaining an overall view of the tree crown and then prune back extensively to thin out any dense areas. We also perform intentional shaping to balance out a lopsided crown. Depending on the situation, we may also insert metal frameworks (such as copper rods or braces) into strategic points and pruning techniques to create more volume and achieve the desired shape. As specialist tree surgeons, you can always trust us to ensure your treen crown lifting needs are taken care of quickly and efficiently.

Crown Thinning

After crown reduction, ensuring your trees are kept healthy and safe is a top priority. It’s essential to immediately address any newly exposed areas of the tree, especially where branches have been removed, as these spots are more prone to infection. Firstly, it’s vital that all cuts made to the tree during the crown reduction process are correctly sealed using a pruning sealer or wound dressing. If applicable, mulch should be applied around the base of the tree and any other exposed areas of the root system – this will help protect against weed growth and provide insulation and resource availability to keep your tree in good condition. Finally, bacterial diseases must be monitored during the following few years. If you suspect your tree may be suffering from infection or disease, contact Linton Tree Surgeons as soon as possible so we can come by and offer an expert diagnosis.
