More Information On Crown Thinning

What Is Crown Thinning?

Crown thinning involves the careful removal of smaller, inner branches to reduce the overall density of a tree’s crown. Unlike crown reduction, it doesn’t change the size or height of the tree, but it allows more air and light to pass through—making it ideal for gardens, homes, and areas where airflow and sunlight are limited.

Our crown thinning service in Altrincham is carried out with precision, following British Standards (BS3998) to ensure the long-term health and structure of the tree is protected.
