Tree Pruning

At Hardfell, we provide expert tree pruning services designed to enhance the health, structure, and appearance of your trees. Whether they’re growing too close to buildings, obstructing views, or reducing light in your outdoor spaces, our skilled Arborists can tailor a pruning solution that fits your landscape and goals.

We work with trees of any size or species, combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of how trees grow and respond to pruning. The result is a landscape that feels open, balanced, and vibrant all year round.

Pruning plays an essential role in keeping trees thriving and well-shaped. Over time, branches can become overcrowded, uneven, or damaged, affecting both the tree’s health and its overall look. 

Regular pruning helps to:

• Encourage new, healthy growth and better form.
• Improve light and air circulation through the canopy.
• Enhance views and allow more sunlight into gardens or homes.  
• Maintain an attractive, natural shape.
• Extend the lifespan of your trees through better long-term care.

At Hardfell, every tree is different, which is why we take a thoughtful approach to each pruning project, whether the goal is to improve light, open up space, or refine the tree’s structure.

We offer a range of professional pruning methods to help your trees stay healthy and visually appealing.

Crown Lifting 

Crown lifting involves selectively removing the lower branches of a tree to create more space beneath the canopy. This technique opens up garden areas, driveways, or paths while giving the tree a more elevated, elegant appearance.  

Deadwooding 

Deadwooding removes dead or decaying branches from the tree’s canopy. This process helps the tree redirect energy into healthy growth and prevents decay from spreading through the structure. It also improves the overall look of mature trees, restoring their vitality and balance.

Canopy Thinning 

Canopy thinning focuses on selectively removing small branches throughout the canopy to let more light and air filter through. This creates a lighter, more open feel without changing the tree’s shape. At Hardfell, we typically limit canopy thinning to around 30%, ensuring the process remains beneficial to the tree’s health.

Canopy Reduction

Canopy reduction reduces the overall size of a tree while maintaining its natural proportions. It’s ideal for trees that have grown too large for their surroundings. Our Arborists carefully shape and balance the canopy, ensuring the tree retains a natural, cohesive form while creating more space and light in your outdoor area.

Our team combines technical pruning expertise with a strong appreciation for the natural environment. We consider each tree’s health, growth pattern, and the wider landscape before we begin, ensuring every cut supports both the tree’s vitality and your property’s aesthetic.

From mature oaks and pines to smaller ornamentals, we know how to enhance a tree’s beauty and function through precision pruning. The result is a landscape that feels lighter, greener, and more balanced with trees that complement their surroundings rather than overpower them.
