Tree Pollarding
Encouraging Healthy Growth Through Expert Pollarding
Tree pollarding is a specialist pruning method that involves the careful removal of a tree’s upper branches to promote controlled growth and encourage a dense, healthy crown of foliage. At Price Tree & Garden Services, our experienced team delivers professional pollarding services designed to improve tree structure, longevity, and appearance while maintaining safety and balance.
To achieve the best results, pollarding is carried out by removing the entire crown back to the main trunk or framework branches. This process helps regulate growth and reduces the overall size of the tree without compromising its health. Pollarding is ideally completed during the autumn months, allowing the tree time to recover and prepare for strong, vigorous regrowth in the following spring.
Our specialists take a careful and considered approach to every pollarding project. We assess the tree’s species, age, and condition before work begins, ensuring the technique is applied correctly and responsibly. The goal is always to leave the tree in the best possible condition, ready to regenerate naturally and thrive for years to come.
Tree pollarding is an effective way to create a well-maintained, compact crown while preserving the natural character of the tree. It is a widely used method in professional tree care but must be carried out at the correct stage of a tree’s development. If a tree becomes too large before pollarding is introduced, removal can often become the only safe option to prevent damage to nearby buildings or structures.
