Skilled Work and Great Results
Our mature oak had grown far too wide and was overshadowing the garden. The Just Hire team carried out a careful crown reduction that kept the tree’s natural shape while letting in so much more light.

The tree at the back of our property had become difficult to manage. Just Hire reduced the crown evenly and safely, and the whole garden now feels more open and tidy. Very happy with the service.

Expert Advice and Clean Finish
Before starting, the team explained exactly how much would be removed to keep the tree balanced. The crown reduction was done perfectly, and all cuttings were cleared before they left. Brilliant job.

crown reduction FAQS
Crown reduction is the process of carefully shortening the height and spread of a tree’s canopy. It reduces weight on heavy branches, improves shape, and helps maintain the tree’s overall health and safety without removing it entirely.
Pruning removes specific branches to shape or manage growth, while thinning focuses on reducing internal density. Crown reduction, on the other hand, shortens the outer canopy to control overall size and prevent overextension or damage.
When carried out by trained professionals, crown reduction is safe and beneficial. It encourages new, healthy growth and reduces stress on the tree’s structure, preventing splitting or storm damage.
Most trees only need crown reduction every 3–5 years, depending on the species and growth rate. Your local tree surgeon can advise the best schedule to keep the tree strong and well-shaped.
The cost depends on the tree’s height, size, access, and condition. With JUSTHIRE, you can get a free online quote instantly, simply enter your postcode and upload photos of your tree. No site visit needed.
