Why Choose Our Surrey and West Sussex Professional Tree Crown Reduction?
A Healthy Tree
We use our knowledge and experience to reduce the correct amount of the crown for the species of tree in order to leave a healthy and sustainable tree. This means taking a tree back to growth points to allow the tree to continue cycling. Over reducing a crown will cause problems, for example, a badly executed crown reduction can cause abnormal and rapid response growth known as epicormic growth. Epicormic growth would produce a tree with increased density and possibly add dangerous weight to the tree.
An experienced and professional Arborist, with high-quality equipment, will leave clean expert cut with no rips, tears, step cuts or flat cuts. Bad cutting can damage and shock a tree and bring disease to a tree Some species are particularly susceptible to poor quality tree Arboriculture. Complete dieback of the tree is the worst outcome.

Aesthetics play a key role in a professional job. Whilst the health of a tree is primary, an expert arborist will also be focusing on the aesthetic of a tree. Often a well-executed job is inextricably linked to an aesthetically pleasing visual result. A well-executed job should present as a natural healthy tree canopy.
