Droitwich mixes period houses in the town with newer estates and larger properties out towards the fields. Wherever the garden is, a tree that has been left to grow will eventually put down branches over the path, the drive or the roof. Crown lifting removes those lowest limbs so the canopy rises and the space beneath becomes clear and usable.
We keep the cuts clean and the work moderate so the tree remains healthy and looks natural. Protection orders and conservation area rules are checked before we start. We tell you plainly if a lift is not the right answer for your tree.
In older parts of Droitwich the trees can be as old as the houses, and they often have thick, heavy low branches. These need proper planning, because a large limb may be heavy enough to damage a roof, a conservatory or a boundary wall if it is not lowered carefully. We cut in stages and use ropes where there is any risk.
A lift on an older tree also needs restraint. Large wounds on mature wood heal slowly, so we avoid cutting more than is needed and prefer smaller, cleaner cuts where we can. That means the tree can seal over and carry on as it should, with the added headroom you wanted. It also leaves the main structure of the tree looking sound and well shaped.
On the edge of Droitwich, gardens are bigger, and many back onto fields with hedges and mature trees along the boundary. Here the lift is often about clearing a drive, a track to the back of the plot or a view over open ground, and about stopping branches pushing into a hedge line. Getting the lift right matters most where a tree is close to buildings.
Mature oaks and ash near field hedges can have long, low reaching limbs. We take those back to a suitable point, balancing the crown so it does not look lopsided afterwards. If the hedge needs a tidy at the same time, we can do both together so the whole boundary is dealt with in one go. A finished boundary is tidy, clear and easy to look after afterwards.
Around the Droitwich Canals and green spaces, trees may be covered by rules that do not apply to a typical garden, so we always check status first. If consent is needed, we say so and help you through it. We also cover Bromsgrove and Stoke Prior, and the same care applies to every crown lifting job in Droitwich.
Based in Hall Green, so we are never far from the gardens we work in.
We look at the job before we price it, so you know what is involved.
Branches, clippings and rubbish from our jobs are cleared and the garden left tidy.

Yes, with care. Older trees carry heavy low limbs and large cuts heal slowly, so we keep the lift modest and make clean cuts. We lower big branches in sections so the house, outbuildings and garden are not damaged.
Yes. Cutting, lowering and clearing the branches is part of the job, and we leave the garden tidy. If you want logs from larger limbs, mention it beforehand and we will leave them where you would like them.
We agree this with you first. We usually raise the canopy to a height where vehicles and deliveries can pass underneath with room to spare, as long as the tree can take it. If it cannot, we will explain the limits.
