Some Common Aspects of Tree Surgery We Handle
Crown Reduction – Crown reduction is a meticulous process aimed at reducing the overall size and spread of a tree's canopy. This service is beneficial when a tree has outgrown its allotted space or poses a risk to nearby structures. Our talented tree surgeons will carefully trim branches, ensuring a balanced and proportional reduction while preserving the tree's natural form.
Crown Thinning – Crown thinning is the careful and informed removal of branches within the crown, with the express aim of reducing its density. This form of tree surgery, available not just in Dorking, Leatherhead and Reigate, but all throughout Surrey, enhances air and light penetration, promoting better circulation and reducing the risk of disease. Crown thinning also contributes to the tree's structural stability, preventing the formation of heavy limbs that could pose a hazard during storms.
Crown Raising – Crown raising, as the name suggests, focuses on elevating the lower branches of a tree, creating clearance beneath the canopy. This service is beneficial for enhancing visibility, allowing more light to reach the ground, and facilitating easier access for pedestrians or vehicles. Crown raising is particularly useful for trees in urban and suburban settings.
Tree Removal – Tree removal is a vital form of tree surgery provided when a tree is deemed hazardous, diseased, or in need of removal for construction purposes. Our tree surgeons use advanced equipment and techniques to safely and efficiently dismantle problematic trees around Dorking, Leatherhead and Reigate, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding environment.
Pollarding – Pollarding is a pruning method that involves the removal of the upper branches of a tree to encourage dense regrowth. This service is often employed for ornamental trees and those in Surrey’s more urban areas around Dorking, Leatherhead and Reigate, providing a controlled way to manage the size and shape of the tree while promoting a distinctive aesthetic.
