Benefits of Crown Lifting

A crown lift is a popular pruning technique where the lower branches of a tree are carefully removed up to a certain height. This allows more sunlight to reach the ground below and creates enough clearance for pedestrians and vehicles, making outdoor spaces safer and more enjoyable.Plus, it improves air flow around the tree and can protect nearby structures and vehicles from being scratched or damaged by hanging branches.A crown lift also gives the tree a nice, balanced look, enhancing its overall beauty. To do it safely and correctly, it’s best to have a professional arborist take care of this task so the tree stays healthy and happy.

Allow light through the canopy

Removing hazardous branches or thinning the canopy allows more sunlight to penetrate, brightening the garden and promoting a healthier overall environment.

Improved health of overshadowed plants

By reducing shade from large or overgrown trees, plants that were previously overshadowed can thrive and grow stronger.

Increased clearance

Removing dangerous or overhanging trees creates more space around buildings, roads, and footpaths, making the area safer and easier to navigate.

Reduced obstruction

Clearing problematic branches or trees removes obstacles, improving access, visibility, and safety for both people and vehicles.

Commercial Crown Lifting

For commercial properties, crown lifting improves clearance for pedestrians, vehicles, and equipment while allowing light to reach key areas. Our team works safely and efficiently at scale, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and maintaining clear communication with property managers, delivering excellent value for your organisation.
