Pollarding in Alloa
Cutting a tree back hard to a framework of trunk and main branches to control its long-term size.
Pollarding in Alloa
Alloa customers looking for pollarding turn to Treescapes Scotland. Pollarding cuts a tree back to a framework of trunk and main branches, then keeps it at that size with repeat cuts every few years — a traditional method for controlling large species like willow, lime and sycamore in gardens or along boundaries where full size isn't practical. It's a bigger commitment than a one-off prune, since a pollarded tree needs the cycle repeating to stay healthy and in shape. Contact us for a free quote. Alloa's older streets near the Forth and its town parks have established trees that need regular pruning and crown work, while newer estates on the town's edges are more about hedge trimming and formative care.
