Tree Pollarding Services

What is Tree Pollarding?

Tree pollarding is a specialised pruning technique that involves removing the upper branches of a tree to promote a dense head of new growth. This method is often used for certain species in urban areas where it’s necessary to control the size and shape of a tree from a young age. By repeatedly cutting branches back to the same points, known as “pollard heads,” the tree develops a unique, maintained structure. This process encourages the growth of dense, healthy shoots and is typically performed during the dormant season to minimise stress on the tree.

The Benefits of Tree Pollarding Services

Pollarding offers many benefits, making it an ideal choice for certain landscapes and tree species. Pollarding is a highly effective way to manage the size of a tree, preventing it from outgrowing its space. This is crucial in urban environments where trees are planted close to buildings, power lines, or footpaths. By encouraging dense, new growth from the pollard heads, this method can reduce the risk of structural failure from heavy or weak branches. It also makes the tree more resilient to wind and storm damage. When performed correctly and consistently, pollarding can create a distinctive, formal appearance that is highly valued in certain garden designs and public spaces. It also extends the lifespan of some species by preventing them from becoming too large and unstable. Regular tree pollarding services can help prevent the build-up of dead wood, which can attract pests and diseases, keeping the tree healthier in the long term.

Why Hire a Professional for Tree Pollarding Services?

Pollarding is a highly skilled process that should only be performed by a professional arborist. Done incorrectly, it can damage a tree. The Tree Doctors are experienced in several tree reduction services. Pollarding will be performed efficiently by our arborists. Here are some of the benefits of our services…

How do Tree Pollarding Services Differ From Crowning?

While both are pruning methods, they have different goals and techniques. Tree crowning (or crown reduction) is a one-time or occasional procedure to reduce a tree’s size and weight while maintaining its natural form. It’s often used to correct structural issues. Tree pollarding, on the other hand, is a service that requires ongoing maintenance. It intentionally alters a tree’s natural form and requires repeated pruning at the same points to maintain a specific size and shape. Pollarding is a commitment to a specific pruning cycle, whereas crowning is a less frequent maintenance task.

We had a significant amount of work done—over 8 trees removed and others reduced—and I can't recommend The Tree Doctors enough.

From my initial contact to the site visit and final completion, the entire process was seamless. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and was incredibly respectful of the property. The price was amazing for the quality of work. They truly exceeded our expectations!

Thank you Will and team 5*
