Here at Webster's Arboricultural Services Ltd, we specialise in tree maintenance, including crown reduction and lifting, as well as the safe removal of dead branches. On this page, we explore what’s involved in these services and what makes them so essential to the care and preservation of the trees we have in our back gardens and our beloved small British woodlands.
Please contact us for information about crown reduction and any of the wider range of services our tree surgeons can offer, such as pollarding, commercial tree work and hedge trimming, in the Windsor, Wokingham and Crowthorne areas.
CALL US TODAYThis service involves reducing the height and/or spread of the tree crown (the parts of the tree that bear leaves). We use this method of tree care to:
The result retains the main framework of the crown, leaving a similar, but smaller, outline.
Crown lifting is the removal of the lowest branches. It can also involve preparing lower branches for future removal.
With crown thinning, we remove a portion of smaller branches to create evenly spaced branches with uniform foliage density. Branches are usually removed at the outer crown. Crown thinning does not alter the overall size or shape of the tree.
We can undertake crown reduction, thinning, and lifting simultaneously to achieve the desired results.
Dead wood can impact the aesthetics of trees and pose a risk to people and property below. Likewise, dead trees are at risk of falling and causing damage or injury. They may also be in the way of building or landscaping projects. Our tree surgeons provide safe removal services to improve the look, function and safety of your property, including:
Major dead wood is hazardous due to the strong risk of falling branches. But it’s not just dead, dying and diseased trees that produce dead wood. Healthy trees also produce dead wood and detached or broken branches. Regardless of the case, it is essential to remove dead wood for the continued safety and well-being of those near the tree.
Additionally, removing dead wood from healthy trees is often done to improve the crown appearance and overall aesthetic of the tree. However, it is crucial to remember that dead wood forms an essential habitat and ecosystem. Removing it should not always be considered when maintaining healthy tree growth. That’s why speaking to our specialist tree surgeons is advisable if you are unsure.

We can advise on how much of the crown needs to be reduced and how healthy the tree is overall.

If your tree is protected, you do not need the consent of the local authority to have dead wood removed.
