The reduction of a trees canopy is used to maintain a tree to its surroundings. Especially when in close proximity to houses, outbuildings and vehicles. We advise an early reduction of a trees crown to be the best way of establishing a healthy canopy with plenty of growth points for the trees future development. Trees continue to grow every year in order to survive so it is best to react before the tree exceeds a suitable size for the area it is situated. A delay in proceedings will only reduce the options available to reduce the tree to, potentially leaving only pollarding or tree removal as the choices for eradicating the problem of a tree that has outgrown its surroundings.
