Tree Pollarding in Altrincham

Pollarding is a traditional tree management technique that helps maintain tree size, shape, and health while ensuring safety and promoting new growth. At Altrincham Tree Surgery, we offer expert tree pollarding services in Altrincham and the surrounding areas to homeowners, businesses, and local authorities. Whether you want to control the size of large trees, improve light levels in your garden, or protect power lines and buildings from overhanging branches, pollarding is an effective and sustainable solution.

Our highly skilled team understands the careful balance required to pollard trees correctly, preserving their health while achieving your landscape goals. Using specialist equipment and proven methods, we carry out precise cuts to encourage vigorous regrowth, reduce wind resistance, and prolong the life of your trees.

The process can be particularly beneficial for:

• Controlling the size of fast-growing species like willow, poplar, or plane trees
• Creating formal, shaped trees for garden design or streetscape aesthetics
• Maintaining clearance for roads, pathways, and overhead utilities
• Managing tree health by removing weak or diseased growth

Pollarding is typically done on mature trees but can also be applied to younger specimens to shape future growth.
