Crown Thinning

Professional Tree Crown Thinning services in Essex

When the canopy of a tree grows thick and heavy, it can make it difficult for light and wind to pass through which can cause problems.  If a tree is too dense it will often become damaged and it also makes it difficult to see if branches are diseased or decayed.  To avoid these issues, T.H Tree Services recommends crown thinning Essex wide. Our tree surgeons will climb right into the crown of the tree and thin it out making it healthier, stronger, safer and more balanced.

Crown Thinning: Essex Tree Surgeons Get Right to the Core of the Problem

Crown thinning Essex wide strengthens trees by letting wind and light pass through rather than having it meet resistance. In strong winds or storms, typical in the UK, this can offer protection and prevent damage. T.H Tree Services carefully and expertly work within the tree’s crown, thinning out foliage and removing heavy branches to help the tree retain natural balance and support new growth.

Eucalyptus Tree Crown Thinning

The eucalyptus tree is an evergreen variety which benefits from expert attention including coppicing and pollarding. Providing they are regularly pruned, eucalyptus trees can be suitable for small gardens, but left unkempt they will grow to quite a height and even in normal conditions they will easily shed bark and branches. If you have a eucalyptus tree it is important to have any dead wood removed regularly and if the tree has grown quite big it is a good idea to have its crown thinned. Our eucalyptus tree crown thinning service is available Essex wide and we are able to safely handle any job, regardless of the size of the tree.
