crown thinning FAQS
Crown thinning involves removing select inner branches throughout a tree’s canopy to reduce density. This allows more light and air to pass through while keeping the tree’s natural size and shape intact.
Thinning helps reduce wind resistance, preventing branches from snapping during storms. It also improves air circulation and light penetration, promoting healthier growth and reducing the risk of disease.
Crown thinning removes inner branches to make the canopy lighter and more open. Crown reduction, on the other hand, shortens the overall height and width of the tree to control its size and shape.
Most trees only need crown thinning every 3–5 years, depending on how quickly they grow. Over-thinning can stress the tree, so it’s best to have it assessed by a professional before scheduling work.
Pricing depends on the tree’s size, location, and condition. With JUSTHIRE, you can get a free online quote instantly, simply enter your postcode, upload a photo, and see your price today. No site visit needed.
