Tree pruning is carried out for the following reasons:
As part of a general maintenance programme
To remove and manage structural weaknesses
To provide greater light levels
To reduce the overall size
To manage health and safety
To prolong the lifespan
To reduce, restructure and re-balance trees
As a result each tree is unique and requires an individual approach. At Custom Cutters appropriate works are tailored to every tree requiring pruning resulting in a variety of specifications. The most common aspects of tree pruning which are likely to be specified are as follows:
Basal and trunk growth removal
Removal of deadwood in crowns
Crown thinning
Crown reduction
Pollarding

Crown lifting
