Here are the top seven signs your tree may need crown reduction.

1. Excessive Height or Spread

Trees that have grown too tall or wide can become unstable, block sunlight, or interfere with buildings and pathways. Crown reduction helps maintain a safe and manageable size.

2. Overhanging Buildings, Fences, or Power Lines

Branches that encroach on nearby structures or utilities can cause damage or create hazards during storms. Reducing the crown ensures clearance and prevents costly accidents.

3. Weak, Dead, or Broken Branches

:x: Dead or weakened branches increase the risk of falling and damaging property or injuring people. Professionals can safely remove these during crown reduction.

4. Poor Light or Air Circulation

Dense, overgrown crowns can block sunlight and restrict airflow, which may lead to disease, pest infestations, or weak growth. Reducing the crown improves overall tree health.

5. Signs of Disease or Pest Infestation

:ant: Pests, fungi, or fungal infections often take hold in dense, untrimmed crowns. Professional crown reduction removes affected branches before the problem spreads.

6. Structural Weakness or Imbalance

:warning: Trees with uneven or unbalanced crowns are at higher risk of branch failure. Crown reduction redistributes weight and reduces stress on the tree.

7. Blocking Views or Neighbouring Properties

Overgrown trees can obstruct views, reduce light in neighbouring gardens, or encroach on property boundaries. Crown reduction maintains a tidy, well-shaped tree that respects its surroundings.
