What Is Crown Lifting?
Crown lifting involves removing the lower branches of a tree to raise the canopy height. This increases ground clearance while maintaining the overall shape and health of the tree.
It is commonly used to:
• Improve access over driveways and pathways
• Increase visibility near roads and entrances
• Allow more natural light into gardens
• Prevent branches from obstructing buildings
• Meet local authority clearance guidelines
All work is carried out with careful assessment to avoid excessive limb removal. Poorly executed crown lifting can weaken structure, which is why professional expertise is essential.
The Benefits of Professional Crown Lifting
Improved Access and Safety
Low branches can obstruct pedestrians, vehicles, and maintenance access. Crown lifting creates safer clearance in gardens, school grounds, and communal spaces.
Increased Light Levels
Removing selected lower limbs allows more sunlight to reach lawns, planting beds, and property interiors.
Better Structural Balance
When performed correctly, crown lifting enhances the overall form of the tree without damaging its natural growth habit.
Compliance with Local Regulations
In some situations, minimum clearance heights are required along highways or public areas. We can advise on these requirements and assess your tree accordingly.
