Crown Lifting and Re-shaping
This involves the removal of the lower branches and the trimming of other remaining branch foliage and is often required in urban areas where more space may be needed under a tree for pedestrians or vehicles
In some circumstances, your Local Authority might require you to provide an adequate level of clearance to a specific height, and this may need to be repeated on a regular basis in order to maintain the clearance.
Crown lifting can also be used to reduce the weight of a tree and allow more light to pass through or under the tree, and this can be beneficial to the surrounding environment.
