🌿 Before You Touch That Tree in Your Garden… Read This
A lot of homeowners mean well - quick trim, tidy up, job done.
But with trees, the wrong cut can actually make things worse (faster regrowth, weak branches, even long-term damage).
Here’s what actually helps:
• Don’t just cut the top - “topping” a tree makes it grow back thicker and more unstable
• Thin it out instead - removing selected inner branches lets in light without ruining the shape
• Check what’s hanging over your roof - small branches now can turn into damage during wind or storms
• Watch for crossing branches - when they rub, they create wounds and invite disease
• Look at the base - raised soil, cracks, or exposed roots can be early warning signs
• Know when to leave it alone - some trees react badly to the wrong timing or heavy cuts
Most tree problems don’t come from neglect, they come from well-intended but wrong maintenance.
Get it right, and your whole garden benefits, more light, better growth, less mess.
