A height reduction and crown lift, before and after

This big garden tree stood well over twice the height of the garage beside it. The team took its height down and lifted the crown clear of the garage roof, keeping the tree’s natural shape, and left the lawn clean.

What customers say

Urban Forest did a great job in our garden. We weren't sure what to do with our trees but Oliver explained things really well and helped us find a solution. He then did a great job and cleared everything up as if he had never been there. I will definitely have them back in the future.

Questions

Another question? Call 0800 001 224 or send it with your quote.

Can you trim a tree that hangs over the neighbour’s yard?

Yes. The team works from your side, climbing in and lowering branches back over the fence. Let the neighbours know the day, and tell Oliver if access from their side would help.

Will the tree keep its shape?

Yes. Branches are cut back to sound points on the tree, so it keeps a natural shape as it grows.

What happens to the branches?

They are chipped on site, and you can keep the chip for the garden.

Can you do several trees in one visit?

Yes. List every tree in the form with a photo of each, and Oliver quotes the lot.
