Here is everything you need to know about crown lifting and tree maintenance.

What Is Crown Lifting?

Crown lifting involves the careful removal of lower branches to increase clearance under the tree. Unlike pruning or crown reduction, lifting focuses on improving space beneath the canopy for access, safety, and aesthetics.

🌳 Light Crown Lifting
Ideal for gardens or pathways where minimal clearance is needed, improving light and accessibility.

🌲 Extensive Crown Lifting
Used for larger trees with low-hanging branches that obstruct roads, driveways, or garden spaces.

Both methods maintain the tree’s natural form while providing practical benefits for your property.

Why Crown Lifting Is Important

Neglecting crown lifting can lead to problems such as:

❌ Obstructed Access – Low branches can interfere with footpaths, driveways, and garden activities.

🏡 Blocked Light – Dense lower branches reduce sunlight reaching gardens, lawns, or buildings.

🌱 Poor Tree Health – Removing selected lower branches allows more light and air to reach inner parts of the tree.

⚠ Safety Hazards – Low-hanging branches can pose a risk to people, vehicles, or structures.

Crown lifting ensures trees remain safe, accessible, and visually appealing.
