Redditch was planned as a new town, and its estates were laid out with open green space, landscaped roads and trees planted in and around gardens. Those trees have had time to mature, and some now press against fences, windows or paths. Our tree pruning in Redditch helps bring them back into proportion.
We prune ornamental trees, fruit trees and the larger planted trees found in many gardens, and we reduce conifers where there is green growth to cut back to. Work is planned before we start, and we clear everything away when we finish.
On a planned estate, trees often went in as young whips at regular spacing. A couple of decades on, the ones nearest your fence may be much larger than anyone expected. Pruning reduces their spread, lifts the lowest branches for clearance and thins the crown so they stay in scale with the plot. Redditch estates were designed with trees in mind, so keeping them in scale is worth the effort.
We take care not to spoil the tree's natural outline. Cuts are made back to side branches rather than across the stem, and we remove only a modest share of the crown at a time. This keeps the tree healthy and avoids the dense, upright shoots that often follow a rough cut and need dealing with all over again. Gentle pruning, repeated sensibly, is the right way to look after them.
Many Redditch roads run beside open green areas, with Arrow Valley Park nearby, and trees planted at the edge of your garden can overhang paths, roads or neighbours. We keep that in mind when planning, shortening branches that hang over shared areas and making sure the debris is cleared properly. That attention to the neighbours is part of doing the job properly.
Light pruning now saves a bigger job later, so we often suggest a regular visit for trees that grow fast. Timing also matters: winter suits many species, and we are careful in the nesting season, because hedges and dense planting around the estates give birds a lot of cover to use. A short visit now and then is easier on the tree and on you than waiting for a large clearance.
Send us a photo or a short description and we will arrange to see the tree, talk through the options and agree the work. We also work in Headless Cross, Astwood Bank and Alvechurch, so wherever you are in Redditch or close by, we can usually fit in a visit. Redditch gardens and roads are easy for us to reach.
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. We lift or shorten the branches that reach over the path so people can walk underneath without ducking, and we make the cuts back to a proper branch collar. If the tree belongs to someone else, speak to the owner before we start.
A little and often is almost always better. Heavy cuts shock a tree and lead to fast, weak regrowth that has to be dealt with again. Smaller, more regular prunes keep the tree balanced, and each visit is a simpler job for everyone.
Yes. Fruit trees need pruning to open the crown, remove crossing branches and keep the fruit within reach. We will check the species and choose the right time of year so the work helps the tree crop well.
