Hall Green is where we are based, so many of the trees we lift are ones we see on our own doorstep. Inter-war semis and bungalows here have long back gardens, and the trees and conifers in them have often grown well beyond what was planned. Crown lifting takes off the lowest branches, so the canopy rises and the space underneath becomes clear.
We work with clean cuts and in moderation, and we check for protection orders and conservation area rules before starting. Because we are local, we are usually able to visit and look at the tree quickly, and we can tell you straight away whether a lift is the right job for it.
Long back gardens are a feature of Hall Green, and so are tall conifers, including Leylandii, planted along the sides for privacy. Conifers can be lifted, but only within limits, because most do not regrow from bare wood. We take off the lower dead or shaded branches and keep enough green growth to hold the tree together. Cutting those too hard can leave bare brown patches that never recover.
Where a conifer has grown too wide or too thick to lift sensibly, we say so and explain what else could work, rather than cutting it into a poor shape. Broadleaved trees are more forgiving, and a lift on one of those can make a big difference to the lawn beneath it. We would rather be straight with you than leave the tree looking worse.
Bungalows are low, so a tree beside one can overhang the roof with only a modest amount of growth. Side drives and narrow passages beside semis are common too, and low branches there catch on cars, bikes and bins. These are everyday problems in Hall Green, and a lift usually puts them right. Small trees can cause surprisingly large irritations in these tight spaces.
Because we live and work locally, we often know the sort of access we will find, whether it is a narrow side gate or a long path to the back garden. That helps us plan how to take branches out, so we do not drag them across the house or the front garden. Knowing the neighbourhood saves time and keeps the job running smoothly.
Before cutting, we look at the tree's health and shape, and check for protection. After the lift, we clear all the cuttings away. We also cover Acocks Green and Moseley nearby, and the same careful approach is used for every crown lifting job in Hall Green, large or small. We take the same trouble over a small garden tree as over a large one.
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.

Sometimes, within limits. Leylandii and other conifers do not usually regrow from bare wood, so we only take lower branches that can safely go. If the tree cannot be lifted sensibly, we will explain and suggest another option.
Yes, with care. We lower branches in sections so nothing lands on the roof, conservatory or fence. Lifting also keeps branches off the roof and gutters, which protects the building as well as clearing space. We clear the cuttings afterwards.
Yes. We cut, lower and clear them as part of the work, so the garden and drive are left tidy. If you would like logs kept from the bigger limbs, tell us before we start. It is all part of the same visit.
