Here is everything you need to know about crown reduction and tree maintenance.

What Is Crown Reduction?

Crown reduction involves carefully removing selected branches from the upper part of a tree to reduce its height or spread. Unlike standard pruning, crown reduction focuses on maintaining the tree’s natural shape while reducing the risk of damage and encouraging healthy growth.

:deciduous_tree: Light Crown Reduction
This is ideal for trees that are slightly overgrown and need minor reshaping or thinning to allow more light and airflow.

:evergreen_tree: Full Crown Reduction
This method is used for larger, overgrown trees that may pose safety risks or obstruct nearby structures. It requires professional skill to avoid stressing the tree.

Both approaches help maintain the tree’s health and the safety of your garden.

Why Crown Reduction Is Important

Neglecting tree maintenance can lead to problems such as:

:x: Structural Weakness – Overgrown branches increase the risk of breakage, which can damage property or cause injury.

:house_with_garden: Obstruction – Trees that grow too tall or wide can block light, views, or access to buildings and pathways.

:seedling: Poor Tree Health – Excessive growth can reduce airflow and light inside the canopy, making the tree more susceptible to disease or pests.

:warning: Safety Hazards – Weak or overextended branches can fall during storms, causing injury or damage.

Crown reduction ensures trees remain safe, healthy, and visually appealing.
