Tree Removal

Overgrown Trees can be a liability and sometimes they outgrow the environment they are rooted in. We provide a wide range of services for your trees such as crown lifting, reduction or thinning.

Crown lifting raises the crown creating a bigger gap between top branches and bottom so there is room for cars etc. The height of a tree sometimes needs to be reduced by pruning the upper part of the crown and in much the same way, the space between the lower branches and ground level sometimes needs to be increased. After the lowest branches have been removed, the crown should still comprise approximately two thirds of the tree’s overall height. That’s one reason why this procedure should only be carried out by experienced professionals, such as the team here at Campbell Tree Services.

Crown reduction is a perfect way to control the growth of your tree when it is too big for your area. This procedure used to lessen the height of a tree by pruning the tips of branches within the crown down to a lower growing point. Crown reduction is often a more stressful procedure for a tree than crown thinning, as the pruning is generally more extensive and more uniform.

Crown thinning reduces the weight of limbs that could weaken the tree allowing more light to pass through the tree. This is a precise and skilled procedure, requiring the systematic removal of just the right amount of material from the tree to produce the desired effect.

A Tree Preservation Order, or TPO, is usually made by a local planning authority (often the local council) to protect a specific tree or woodland from deliberate damage and destruction. We can guide you through the process to submit your application to the council with a consultation period attached.
