Pruning & Maintenance

Pollarding

Cutting a tree back hard to a framework of trunk and main branches to control its long-term size.

About Our Pollarding Service

Pollarding cuts a tree back to a framework of trunk and main branches, then keeps it at that size with repeat cuts every few years — a traditional method for controlling large species like willow, lime and sycamore in gardens or along boundaries where full size isn't practical. It's a bigger commitment than a one-off prune, since a pollarded tree needs the cycle repeating to stay healthy and in shape. Contact us for a free quote.
