What is a crown reduction?

A crown reduction is the removal of branches from the top and sides of the tree. This keeps the tree in its natural shape, preventing it from becoming overgrown in a confined environment. In short, it is a more elaborate form of pruning.

We take great care to remove dangerous deadwood and crossing branches during a crown reduction. This minimises the chance of pathogens and disease infecting the tree, while also restoring the tree to a safe, balanced shape.

Crown reductions can be carried out on trees of any sizes. Our team is experienced and skilled at performing crown reductions safely. No matter how tall your tree is, we can restore it to a reduced size.

In addition to this, Artemis Tree Services offer a first-rate crown thinning and crown lifting service.

Crown thinning & lifting

Crown thinning involves removing the inner branches of the crown to allow more light to travel through. As with crown thinning, we remove the deadwood to keep your tree in a healthy condition.

Crown lifting, as the name suggests, is the removal of branches from the lower part of the crown, which in turn lifts the crown’s height. Crown thinning is essential for ensuring vehicles and people can travel underneath the tree safely.

This is the first occasion using Artemis and we found the service from start to finish prompt, professional and friendly. The interaction prior to the commencement of the work was really efficient, and the team on the day were great and the work completed was to an exceptional standard, as was the clear up afterwards. A big thanks to Loise, Lewis, Mo and Marchin for your hard work on the day, and to Scott too who did the initial quotation. Well done boys and we are so pleased with the end result!

My wife and I were pleased to welcome Charlie and Ben, to tackle our overgrown Laurel. They telephoned ahead to advise their time of arrival and, once on site, got down to work in a professional and industrious manner.

In addition, they approached their work in full compliance with health and safety regulations. All in all, they were splendid ambassadors for their company!
