Pollarding
Pollarding – Professional Tree Size Management
Pollarding is a time-tested tree management technique that keeps trees safe, balanced, and looking their best. By cutting back branches to a set height, pollarding encourages healthy new shoots and helps control the tree’s overall size. This is especially important in urban areas where overgrown trees can interfere with power lines, damage buildings, or block light from reaching gardens and public spaces.
Our team of professional arborists perform pollarding with care and precision, using industry-approved tools and techniques to minimise stress to the tree. We schedule pollarding at the right time of year to support healthy regrowth and maintain the structural integrity of each tree.
