Thinking about crown reduction for a large or overhanging tree? As a Level 4-trained arboricultural consultant, I’ll walk you through what to expect so you can decide with confidence. Before: I assess structure, decay and clearance needs, then mark poor‑quality or crossing branches. The work: precise, sector-by-sector crown reduction using correct cutting points to preserve branch collars and avoid large flush cuts. After: reduced canopy load, improved safety and retained natural tree form. Risks: short‑term stress, shading changes and wound exposure — all minimised by expert technique and correct pruning season. Recovery time: most trees show reduced wind sail immediately; new growth and full adjustment typically occur over 6–18 months depending on species. If you’re in Petersfield or nearby in Hampshire and want a clear, professional assessment, I’m happy to help. Learn more and book an inspection: https://wix.to/hhnSFrW
