Crown Work

Crown Reduction

Reducing the overall height and spread of a tree while keeping its natural shape and health.

About Our Crown Reduction Service

Crown reduction cuts back the height and spread of a tree's canopy, easing pressure on the roots and trunk, reducing wind resistance, and bringing an oversized tree back into proportion with the garden or plot around it. It's a common choice where a tree has outgrown its space, is overshadowing a house or neighbouring garden, or is blocking light. Done properly, crown reduction keeps the tree's natural shape rather than leaving it looking hacked about. Treescapes Scotland assesses each tree on-site before recommending how much reduction is appropriate. Contact us for a free quote.
