Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Trimming

Find answers to common questions about tree trimming and hiring professional arborists in the UK.

What is the best way to prune a tree?

Proper tree pruning techniques are essential for maintaining the health and structure of your trees. The goal is to make cuts that promote healing, maintain the natural shape, and avoid damage or weakening of the tree. Here's what to do:
  • Make clean cuts: Use sharp, clean pruning tools to prevent the crushing or tearing of branches, reducing the risk of disease and decay.
  • Follow the branch collar: This is the swollen area at the base of the branch. Never cut back into the branch collar, as this creates a wound that is difficult for the tree to heal.
  • Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches: This improves tree health and reduces hazards.
  • Thin the crown: Selectively remove branches from within the crown to improve light penetration, air circulation, and reduce wind resistance. Thinning helps to maintain the natural shape of the tree without reducing its overall size.
  • Reduce the crown: If necessary, reduce the size of the crown by shortening the branches back to strong lateral branches. This helps manage the size of the tree without damaging it.
  • Avoid topping: Topping is a harmful practice that creates ugly growth and weakens trees. Never top your trees.

For complex pruning tasks, such as crown reduction or thinning, it's strongly recommended to hire a certified arborist who has the expertise and experience to perform the work properly and safely.

What is crown lifting/raising?

Crown lifting or raising is a pruning technique where lower branches are removed to increase the height of the crown above the ground. This increases clearance under the tree, beneficial for things like driveways, walkways, buildings, or allowing more light to reach the ground below.

What is crown reduction?

Crown reduction is a tree pruning technique that aims to reduce the overall size of a tree's crown (the top portion of branches and leaves). It involves reducing the length of branches back to strong laterals (side branches), maintaining the tree's natural shape as much as possible. It's used to reduce a tree's height, spread, or overall size while preserving its health and natural form. This is different from topping, which is generally considered damaging to trees.

How to tell if tree trimming is needed?

Several indicators can point to a tree's need for trimming:
  • Dead or dying branches: These are a clear sign that pruning is necessary, both for aesthetics and safety. Dead branches can fall unexpectedly.
  • Overgrown branches: Branches that overhang buildings, roads, or power lines pose safety hazards and should be trimmed.
  • Crossing or rubbing branches: Branches that cross or rub against each other can cause damage, creating wounds that are vulnerable to disease and insects.
  • Weak or damaged branches: Branches that are damaged or weak can break easily and should be removed to prevent harm.
  • Unattractive growth: Trees may need trimming to improve their appearance and maintain a balanced shape.
  • Disease or pest infestation: Trimming can help remove infected or infested branches.
It's important to note that some of these indicators might also suggest more serious tree health issues. If you are not sure whether tree trimming is required, consult with a certified arborist for a professional assessment.
