Tree Pruning and Crown Reduction
Regular tree pruning keeps trees healthy, safe and the right size for their surroundings. Earthwise Tree Care prunes garden trees, hedgerow trees and mature specimens across Banbury, North Oxfordshire and South Warwickshire, using methods that respect each tree's natural shape.
This is skilled work at height: if a tree is too big to reach safely from the ground, or close to a building or power line, it needs a qualified arborist rather than a ladder and a saw.
Our Tree Pruning Services
Every tree and every garden is different, so we start by finding out what you want to achieve: more light, more space, a safer tree or simply a tidier shape. We then recommend the lightest work that will do the job, and explain what the tree will look like afterwards and how it will grow back.
Bad pruning can do more harm than none at all, so every cut is clean, well placed and made with the tree's long-term health in mind.
Crown Reduction
Reducing the height and spread of the crown brings a large tree back into proportion with its setting.
We shorten branches back to suitable growth points, so the tree keeps its natural outline and recovers well.
Crown Lifting
Removing the lowest branches raises the canopy to clear lawns, paths, drives, roads and buildings.
It lets light in underneath and gives room to walk, park and mow, without changing the tree's overall size.
Deadwooding
We remove dead, dying and dangerous limbs before they fall, which matters most over gardens, drives, roads and public areas.
Taking out deadwood also helps the tree put its energy into healthy growth.
Pollarding
An age-old way of controlling the size of trees such as willow and lime, especially in towns and tight spaces.
Once a tree has been pollarded it needs cutting back regularly to stay safe and manageable.
Hedge Cutting
We shape and maintain formal and wild hedges for density, wildlife and good looks.
Work ranges from a light trim to a full restoration cut that brings an overgrown hedge back under control.
Woodland Management
For larger plots and small woodlands we plan and carry out ongoing work over the years.
That can mean thinning, safety pruning and new planting to keep the trees healthy for the long term.
How a Pruning Job Works
Whether it is a small garden tree or a mature oak, every pruning job around Banbury, Tysoe, Brailes and Shipston-on-Stour follows the same careful steps. You know what we will cut, why, and what the tree will look like when we have finished.
Visit and Advice
We look at the tree with you and find out what you want to achieve, whether that is more light, more space or a safer tree.
We check for Tree Preservation Orders and conservation area rules, then give you a free quote.
Careful Pruning
Our certified arborists climb or work from a cherry picker and make clean cuts at the right points, so the tree seals over and grows back well.
We never top trees or take off more than they need.
Clear Up and Aftercare
All the cuttings are chipped and taken away, and lawns, beds and paths are left as we found them.
We will tell you when the tree is likely to need looking at again, so it stays healthy and in shape.
