Crown reduction is when the height and or spread of a tree is reduced by selectively cutting back to smaller branches overall by removing branches evenly throughout the crown. Pruning is the best preventive maintenance a young tree can receive. It will encourage them to develop a strong structure and prevent trees from becoming deformed; this also helps maintain old trees. If you have a tree that has fallen or been damaged by a recent storm it is important to get the situation addressed as quickly as possible to protect your property.
Hedge trimming is essential for both formal and informal hedges. New hedges require trimming regularly for the first couple of years after planting in order to build strength. After this, maintenance should be carried out once or twice a year for informal hedges to ensure they stay compact and dense, and upto three times yearly for formal hedges. Trimming is conducted on all types of hedges for a number of reasons. A well maintained hedge provides a good strong boundary to a garden or field and they need trimming so that they don't grow out of shape, too wide or bare outside.
