Keeping trees healthy and in proportion
Pruning is often the better alternative to felling. A well-pruned tree lets light into the garden and house, stays clear of roofs and fences, and keeps its natural shape rather than ending up as a bare stump of a tree.
We prune for homeowners and commercial clients across Manchester and Greater Manchester, cutting back to suitable growth points rather than topping branches off. Hard, careless cuts lead to weak regrowth and decay, which is the opposite of what you want.

Types of tree pruning explained
Each type of pruning does a different job. Often a tree needs a combination of two or more.
Crown reduction
The overall height and spread of the crown is reduced by cutting branches back to healthy side growth, keeping a natural shape while making the tree smaller.
Crown lifting
The lowest branches are removed to raise the canopy, giving clearance over a lawn, path, drive or road and letting light in underneath.
Crown thinning
Selected inner branches are removed to reduce density, so more light and wind pass through without changing the size or outline of the tree.
Deadwood removal
Dead, dying and broken branches are taken out before they fall, which makes the tree safer and removes a common entry point for decay.

How we carry out the work
How we prune a tree
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Agree what you want
We look at the tree with you and agree the aim, whether that is more light, clearance from the house or a smaller, tidier shape.
Check consent and nesting
We check with the council for a Tree Preservation Order or conservation area and inspect the tree for nesting birds before work begins.
Make clean, considered cuts
Branches are cut back to suitable growth points, with heavier limbs lowered in a controlled way so nothing below is damaged.
Clear the cuttings
All branches and leaves are taken away and the area under the tree is raked clear before we leave.
