At Tree Surgeons Surrey, we specialise in professional crown reduction and crown thinning services designed to improve the health, appearance, and safety of your trees. Whether you’re managing trees on a residential property or overseeing grounds on a commercial site, our expert arborists are here to help you make informed decisions about tree care.
What Is Crown Reduction?
Crown reduction is a precise pruning technique used to reduce the overall size of a tree’s canopy. This is achieved by selectively removing branches from the top and sides of the crown, which helps to:
- Reduce the tree’s height or spread
- Prevent damage to nearby structures
- Maintain a natural shape
- Minimise wind resistance
- Improve light penetration and airflow
Crown reduction is ideal for trees that have outgrown their space, are interfering with buildings or power lines, or pose a risk during storms. Unlike topping, which can severely damage a tree, crown reduction retains the structural integrity and health of the tree when carried out by qualified professionals.
What Is Crown Thinning?
Crown thinning involves selectively removing inner branches throughout the canopy without altering the overall size or shape of the tree. This technique is used to:
- Improve light and air circulation
- Reduce the weight of heavy limbs
- Minimise the risk of storm damage
- Maintain the natural form of the tree
It’s a great solution for trees with dense foliage that block out too much sunlight or are prone to catching the wind. Thinning reduces the strain on the tree while enhancing its visual appeal.
