Tree pruning & crown reductions
Careful pruning for healthier, better-managed trees.
Professional pruning and crown management carried out with consideration for the tree, surrounding property and the desired outcome.
Tree care
The right work for the tree.
Tree pruning is not simply about making a tree smaller. The type and amount of work should reflect the condition of the tree, its surroundings and what needs to be achieved.
RSM Tree Services assesses the work before recommending an appropriate approach, whether that involves selective pruning, crown reduction, removing particular branches or managing growth around buildings and other features.

When pruning may be appropriate
Good pruning starts with a clear reason.
Tree pruning can be useful for a number of reasons, from managing growth around buildings and boundaries to improving clearance, removing dead or damaged branches and reducing the overall size of a crown.
The amount and type of pruning should suit the individual tree and what needs to be achieved. RSM Tree Services reviews the tree and surrounding area before recommending the most appropriate work.
Managing size & spread
Where a tree has outgrown the available space or needs to be reduced in a controlled way.
Clearance
Where branches interfere with buildings, access routes, boundaries or other surrounding features.
Dead or damaged branches
Removal of dead, damaged or potentially hazardous branches where appropriate.
Ongoing tree management
Selective pruning to help manage growth and maintain the tree within its surroundings.
