Professional Crown reduction in hitchin

Waterman Tree Co provide expert crown reduction in Hitchin and throughout Hertfordshire, this is an important part of tree maintenance and reduces the shape and size of the tree, this is most often applied when a tree has grown too large for its surroundings. Crown reduction is NOT tree topping or tree lopping, it reduces the weight of the tree and can prevent dangerous snapping in poor weather conditions, and is preferred to topping/lopping, because it leaves the tree in a more natural look, minimising the need for more future work.

Crown reduction should not be used to reduce the chances of the tree blowing over in a storm. Crown Thinning is the preferred method to minimize reduce storm damage of an otherwise structurally fine tree. Crown reduction can be considered when the root system of a large maturing tree has substantial decay making it potentially hazardous.

We are happy to make recommendations for the percentage of reduction required. Our priority is ensuring the health of the tree is maintained whilst achieving the best structural results. We offer a free assessment and estimate on all services in crown reduction in Hitchin & across Hertfordshire.
