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.

Artemis took down two lime trees who's roots had damaged the garage floor and were an inch away from the foundations of the house . The trees were in a very awkward place to get to but this didn't seem to trouble this highly competent team. The team were extremely well equipped , and they worked together like a well oiled machine. We were delighted with their work, tidiness and very pleasant manner. And it was at a fair price.
