The Risks of DIY Crown Reduction

Even seemingly straightforward crown reduction can present significant challenges:

⚠ Risk of Injury – Ladders, chainsaws, and hand tools can be dangerous if used incorrectly. Falls and cuts are common among DIYers.

🌳 Damage to the Tree – Incorrect cutting techniques can weaken the tree, encourage disease, or lead to poor regrowth.

💷 Property Damage – Falling branches or improper handling can damage fences, sheds, roofs, or other garden features.

✂ Uneven or Poor Results – DIY trimming often leaves the crown unbalanced, overcut, or patchy, affecting both safety and aesthetics.
