Worcester gardens range from period houses near the cathedral and the Severn to larger suburban plots with a lot of lawn. Trees thrive here, helped by river meadows and generous space, and the lower branches often reach well across a garden. Crown lifting in Worcester gently raises that canopy, giving back access, view and light without losing the tree.
We approach each tree as an individual. A riverside willow needs a different touch from a suburban oak, and a tree in a conservation area has rules of its own. Before we cut anything, we agree exactly what will be lifted, why, and how the tree will look afterwards.
Larger Worcester gardens can hold impressive trees, from oak and beech to horse chestnut and cedar. Their lower limbs sweep over lawns and driveways, making it difficult to mow, park or walk under them. We lift the canopy to a height that suits how you use the space, and we stop when the tree is still graceful and balanced. That keeps it looking natural.
Because of the size of the garden, we can often work with plenty of space around the tree, which makes the job smoother. Where it makes sense, we use ropes to bring heavier branches down gently and protect lawns, borders and any garden buildings underneath. Smaller material goes through the chipper and the rest is taken away. Nothing is left lying about.
Near the Severn and its meadows, willows and other moisture-loving trees grow quickly and spread wide. Their lower branches trail across paths, dip towards the water and snag on fences. We lift these with care, removing hanging growth and any heavy low limbs but keeping the soft, flowing character that makes a willow worth having in a Worcester garden. It is a light touch that suits the tree.
Ground by the river can be soft, so we protect lawns where we can, and we keep cut material clear of the water. Willows also regrow with enthusiasm after pruning, which means a gentle lift is usually sufficient. We would rather return for another light visit than take too much at once and stress the tree. Gentle work like this suits willows.
Parts of Worcester sit within conservation areas, so we check for protection before we cut and tell you if notice is needed. When the lift is done, the branches are cleared and the garden left tidy, with the lawn raked over. We also cover Claines, Powick and Kempsey, and can look at other trees in those areas at the same time.

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. We remove the low, trailing growth and any heavy low limbs, while keeping the natural shape. We take care to keep cut material away from the water, and we protect soft ground as far as we can during the work.
It may be, if your house is in one, and in that case notice to the council is normally required before pruning. We check this at the start and tell you what to do, so the work goes ahead without problems.
It depends on what you need clear, such as a mower, a car or a path. We lift to that height where we can, but never so far that the tree is thrown out of balance. We explain the limit on site.
