crown reduction FAQS

Crown reduction is the process of carefully shortening the height and spread of a tree’s canopy. It reduces weight on heavy branches, improves shape, and helps maintain the tree’s overall health and safety without removing it entirely.

Pruning removes specific branches to shape or manage growth, while thinning focuses on reducing internal density. Crown reduction, on the other hand, shortens the outer canopy to control overall size and prevent overextension or damage.

When carried out by trained professionals, crown reduction is safe and beneficial. It encourages new, healthy growth and reduces stress on the tree’s structure, preventing splitting or storm damage.

Most trees only need crown reduction every 3–5 years, depending on the species and growth rate. Your local tree surgeon can advise the best schedule to keep the tree strong and well-shaped.

The cost depends on the tree’s height, size, access, and condition. With JUSTHIRE, you can get a free online quote instantly, simply enter your postcode and upload photos of your tree. No site visit needed.
