Crown lifting

At Tendring Tree Surgery, we offer expert crown lifting services throughout Tendring, Colchester, Ipswich and the surrounding areas.

Crown lifting is a tree trimming technique that selectively removes lower branches to raise the crown (the leafy canopy) of the tree.

What is crown lifting used for?

Increased Light Penetration:

Overgrown branches can block sunlight from reaching your windows, patios, and gardens. Crown lifting allows more light to filter through, brightening your living space and promoting healthy plant growth underneath the tree.

Improved Safety:

Lower branches can obstruct walkways, driveways, or power lines. Crown lifting creates clearance, reducing the risk of trip hazards and preventing damage to property or electrical issues.

Enhanced Tree Health:

By removing dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches, crown lifting improves air circulation within the canopy. This can help prevent the spread of disease and promote healthy new growth.

We offer free, no obligation consultations and quotes!

When should crown lifting be carried out?

Mature Trees: Crown lifting is generally best suited for mature trees that have developed a lower canopy. Younger trees may not require this technique yet.

 

Species: Some tree species tolerate crown lifting better than others. Our arborists at Tendring Tree Surgery can advise you on whether crown lifting is suitable for your specific tree species.

 

Specific Needs: If your goal is to increase light penetration, improve safety by creating clearance, or remove diseased branches, crown lifting could be a good solution.
