Dismantle/Fell
When a tree needs to be completely removed, there are two primary methods: felling and dismantling. Felling involves making precise directional cuts at the tree’s base to allow it to fall in one piece, usually performed when ample space is available for the tree to land safely. On the other hand, dismantling is the preferred technique when the surrounding area is at risk of damage. This method involves removing the tree in sections, carefully lowering each part to the ground. Both methods require expertise to ensure safety and efficiency, making professional arborists essential for these tasks.
Pollard
Pollarding is a pruning method aimed at stimulating new growth and managing tree size. This technique involves cutting branches back to the main stem, resulting in a temporarily bare appearance. However, in spring, dormant buds burst into life, producing fresh, vigorous growth. Pollarding is typically used to significantly reduce a tree’s canopy while encouraging regrowth. This method is especially beneficial for maintaining the health and aesthetics of urban trees, ensuring they do not outgrow their environment or pose risks to nearby structures.
Coppicing
Coppicing, often confused with pollarding, involves cutting a tree down to ground level to encourage new shoots from the base. This method is usually applied to fast-growing species and differs from pollarding in that it stimulates growth from the ground rather than from the main stem. Coppicing cannot be performed on all tree types but is highly effective for species that respond well to this treatment. It is a traditional technique used to manage woodland areas sustainably, promoting biodiversity and providing renewable resources like timber and firewood.
Crown Reduction
Crown reduction is a pruning technique used to decrease the size of a tree’s canopy by up to one-third, without compromising its health. This method helps manage the tree’s height and spread while maintaining its natural shape and aesthetic appeal. Crown reductions are performed to prevent overgrowth, reduce shade, and mitigate the risk of branches interfering with structures or power lines. By carefully selecting and trimming branches, arborists ensure that the tree remains healthy and visually pleasing.
Crown Thinning
Crown thinning involves selectively removing branches from within the canopy without altering the tree’s overall size or shape. This technique allows more light and air to penetrate through the tree, improving the health and quality of the remaining branches. Crown thinning is particularly beneficial for fruit trees, as it enhances fruit production by ensuring better air circulation and sunlight exposure. This method is also used to reduce the weight of heavy limbs, minimizing the risk of breakage during storms.
Dead Wooding
Dead wooding, also known as crown cleaning, is the process of removing dead or dying branches from a tree. These dead branches, known as deadwood, can pose significant safety hazards, especially in public areas or near pathways and roads. Removing deadwood reduces the risk of falling branches causing damage or injury. This method helps maintain the tree’s health and structural integrity by preventing decay and disease from spreading to healthy parts of the tree.
Shaping
Shaping a tree involves pruning to correct its form and encourage a balanced, aesthetically pleasing appearance. Sometimes, certain parts of a tree grow faster than others due to varying light exposure, leading to an irregular shape. Shaping addresses this by trimming back the overgrown sections, ensuring the tree maintains a uniform and natural look. This practice is particularly useful for ornamental trees and shrubs, enhancing their visual appeal and integrating them harmoniously into the landscape.

FAQ
ask us anything about Trees
What are the typical costs for tree surgery in Lincolnshire?
The cost of tree surgery in Lincolnshire depends on the size and type of tree, the complexity of the job, and whether additional services like stump grinding or waste removal are needed. It’s best to get multiple quotes from local tree surgeons for an accurate estimate.
When is the best time to prune trees in Lincolnshire?
Pruning during the late winter or early spring, before new growth starts, helps promote healthy growth and reduces the risk of disease. Some trees, however, may require specific timing based on their species and health condition.
Do I need permission to cut down a tree in Lincolnshire?
Many trees in Lincolnshire are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or conservation area regulations. It’s essential to check with your local council to see if permission is needed before any tree work begins.
