Full Crown Reductions Kent | Broadleaf Tree Surgery

Full Crown Reductions

Reducing the overall volume and size of a tree’s crown, while maintaining the natural shape of the tree. It may be that you would like to keep your tree but you want more light in your garden, or you feel uncomfortable with the tree’s size given its proximity to your property.

Typically we use a technique called drop crotching. This is where the arborist in the tree prunes to the most suitable growth removing the weaker leaders to produce both a natural and balanced crown. Don’t be fooled in to heavy reductions by other tree companies. This is a bad form of tree management, and doesn’t benefit the tree or you! Typically heavy pruning will produce heavy re-growth costing you as a Kent homeowner more in the long term and stressing the tree, making it more susceptible to disease and or die back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take everything away and is there an extra cost for this?

We do! All waste generated by the tree work we carry out is taken away from site. We use our wood chipper to mulch the arisings and this is taken directly to our yard where it is processed in to compost and re used on a local farm as fertiliser. Occasionally customers require the wood chip to be used on flower beds to suppress weed growth, or on paths. Just let us know what you require. Any thing that we can’t chip because it’s too big is either taken to our yard and left to season for processing in to firewood, or chipped by a large biomass wood chipper and recycled. We try to be as green as possible at Broadleaf Tree Surgery Ltd And everything is done in as efficient a manner as possible to reduce our carbon footprint. If you require the wood from your job to be left for you to use as firewood that’s no problem either we will even cut it up and stack it for you! And just for some extra peace of mind we are fully licensed and regulated to carry waste and dispose of it.

How much do you charge?

Due to the very nature of our industry it would be very hard and some might say a bit unprofessional for us to try and give a price over the phone.

That way you know there isn’t any unexpected hidden costs lurking around the corner.

Do I need permission to maintain or remove my tree?

As a professional company we perform local authority checks on each and everyone of our jobs. We have been dealing with local councils for years and have plenty of experience on where conservation areas are and what is and isn’t allowed. Trees are sometimes subject to a tree preservation order (TPO) This can be for many reasons. Trees are an asset and contribute hugely to an areas bio diversity and also provide an area with a certain level of aesthetic appeal. Many village centres are within a conservation area and many old and large, or particularly important trees are covered by a TPO. We don’t charge to do the planning applications/paperwork required and can offer advice on what is best for the ongoing management of your trees so you can sit back and relax.
