Tree Trimming/Pruning

Professional Tree Pruning Stockport

When it comes to tree pruning or trimming, North Cheshire Forestry has a wealth of experience with over thirty years in the industry. That experience is vital because if done incorrectly, the consequences for the tree, both in terms of appearance and health, can be devastating.

Simply arbitrarily removing branches can lead to a tree with an unbalanced appearance, an increase in deadwood from incorrect tree pruning procedures, and, in severe cases on some larger trees, incorrect tree trimming can lead to some tree instability and safety issues.

North Cheshire Forestry avoid these issues by following industry best practice for tree pruning or trimming. We consider tree variety, time of year, natural tree shape, and aesthetic considerations. All our work is carried out to BS3996 standard for tree care, ensuring a safe and professional tree service is carried out on your trees.

Tree Pruning Considerations

When tree trimming or pruning, keeping a natural shape is a primary concern. Trees are beautiful and deserve to be pruned in a way that preserves their natural shape and growing patterns. Other considerations include:

  • Using correct pruning procedures to prevent dieback.
  • Ensuring continued tree stability.
  • Not removing too much of the leaf area which can lead to tree health issues.

If you are still determining which type of tree pruning procedure is best for your tree, we will be more than happy to go through the various options with you. We will always guide you towards the best outcome to preserve tree health and balance wherever possible.

For example, if you’re looking for extra light in your garden, a crown thin is often a much better option than removing the top. This preserves the natural shape while allowing more light into your garden and reducing wind resistance as well.

Avoiding dieback when tree pruning or trimming is essential to the tree visually and for tree health. There are safety concerns as well. Deadwood on larger trees can be a hazard in the form of falling timber. A gust of wind is all it takes sometimes for dead wood to come free from the tree and fall to the ground.

We avoid these sorts of issues with correct pruning procedures at designated pruning points, ensuring that the tree can continue to grow free from dieback while maintaining its natural shape.
