 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely excellent, from start to finish! The quote was to remove 2 tall stumps and to grind the roots. The preferred method was to use WhatsApp (On a Saturday) by sending a photo. We agreed a price, and a date for work to commence (the following Monday at 8am). The workmen were on time, very polite, wore all the PPE required, even put up hoardings around the site when using machinery. Job done by 9am, all cleaned up and equipment removed. The site was left in an excellent state, would never have known there was a tree there. Photo's included show the work site before and after. I have decided that all our future arborist work will be directed their way.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the tree survey supplied by Crown Tree Surgeons. We had been asked to produce a tree survey by our local authority as we currently have a planning application to build a flat roof extension. David  talked  us through the process, gave us his time when we met in person explaining what the report contains and how it is used by the planning department. Overall I am very happy with the no fuss approach and would recommend Crown Tree Surgeons to anyone looking for a tree survey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used Crown Tree Surgeons to undertake a tree survey of our sycamore tree as it was a requirement by our local planning authority before we can build an extension on the back of our house.
This was all new to us as we had no idea that a report was necessary. David explained the whole process and how a BS5837 report would be needed and compiled and then used as part of our planning application process.
Both myself and my husband were very grateful, we would recommend to anyone also looking for a tree report.

The team gave their time to come and help Demelza Hospice Care for Children with their 2023 Tree-Cycle Event. Around 300 trees were chipped on site and we couldn't be more grateful for their support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super pleased!

We have never used a tree surgeon before and didn't really know where to start.
I made contact with Crown Tree Surgeons a couple of months ago, a young pleasant guy turned up to quote he explained that the tree was protected and that planning permission was needed.
There price was not the cheapest but we still decided to go with them as i wanted to be sure that my neighbours garden was protected as he kindly agreed to remove the waste from the tree through his garden.

So i left for work early morning and didn't return until late, i woke up this morning to see the result and i am so pleased, the trees look amazing, we  finally have light  in our garden and our neighbour is also very pleased!

thank you

Our Tree Pruning Services

In Greenwich, our expert tree pruning promotes healthier growth, improves structure, reduces risks, and enhances landscape beauty, ensuring your trees stay safe, strong, and thriving long-term.

Select a service from below to review more information.

Crown Thinning

Crown thinning is a precise tree pruning technique used to remove inner branches selectively, improving light penetration and air circulation. It reduces wind resistance and maintains the tree’s natural shape and strength.

Crown Reduction

Crown reduction is a tree surgery technique that reduces the overall height and spread of a tree’s canopy. It helps manage tree size, improves light access, and minimises the risk of storm damage, while maintaining the tree’s natural shape and promoting healthy, controlled growth.

Crown Lifting (Raising)

Crown lifting, also known as crown raising, involves removing the lower branches of a tree to increase clearance from the ground. This technique improves access, visibility, and light beneath the tree. It is commonly used near roads, driveways, footpaths, and buildings to create safer, more practical outdoor spaces without harming tree health.

Deadwood Removal

Deadwood removal involves safely cutting away dead, dying, or diseased branches from trees. This enhances safety, improves tree health, and reduces the risk of falling limbs in public or private spaces.

Formative Pruning

Formative pruning is carried out during a tree’s early years to shape its structure for long-term health and stability. This technique removes weak, crossing, or competing branches to encourage a balanced framework. It helps reduce future maintenance, minimises the risk of structural issues, and promotes strong, healthy tree development.

Pollarding

Pollarding is a pruning technique that involves removing the upper branches of a young tree to promote dense, controlled growth. Commonly used in urban environments, it helps manage tree size, prevents interference with power lines or buildings, and encourages a uniform shape while maintaining the tree’s long-term vitality.

Structural Pruning

Structural pruning is aimed at developing a strong, balanced branch structure in young trees. It removes weak or poorly attached limbs, promoting healthy growth and reducing future risk of damage or failure.

Canopy Shaping

Canopy shaping involves carefully pruning a tree’s crown to create a more balanced, attractive outline. This enhances visual appeal, encourages healthy growth, and helps maintain the tree’s natural structure and form.

Branch Removal

Branch removal is the targeted cutting of specific tree limbs to improve safety, health, or appearance. It helps eliminate hazards, prevent disease spread, and maintain the structural integrity of the tree.

Clearance Pruning (For Buildings or Pathways)

Clearance pruning involves trimming branches that encroach on buildings, pathways, or roads. This ensures safe access, prevents property damage, and maintains adequate space around structures while supporting healthy tree growth.

Shrub and Trimming

Shrub trimming enhances the appearance, health, and shape of ornamental plants and hedges. Regular maintenance encourages dense growth, prevents overgrowth, and keeps your garden looking neat, tidy, and well-maintained year-round.

Storm Damage Pruning

Storm damage pruning involves removing broken, split, or hazardous branches caused by severe weather. This restores tree safety, prevents further damage, and helps promote healthy recovery after storms or high winds.

Safety Pruning

Safety pruning focuses on removing hazardous branches that pose a risk to people, property, or pathways. It helps prevent accidents, improves visibility, and ensures trees remain structurally sound and safe.

Canopy Pruning

Canopy pruning involves selectively trimming the upper parts of a tree to improve light penetration, airflow, and overall shape. It promotes healthy growth and helps maintain a balanced, attractive tree structure.

Pest Control and Health Pruning

Pest control and health pruning targets infested, diseased, or weakened branches to prevent the spread of pests and infections. By removing affected areas, this method supports the tree’s immune response, promotes recovery, and maintains the overall vitality and longevity of your trees and shrubs.
