What are you trying to achieve?
- Dead, damaged or crossing branches are present
- Limbs are close to a roof, service line or accessway
- The canopy has become unbalanced or too dense
- A tree needs measured maintenance rather than removal
How Josh plans selective pruning
Josh starts with what you want to achieve, then considers the branch structure, visible tree condition, access and how much pruning is appropriate. The aim is useful canopy management, not indiscriminate cutting or a promise that pruning can correct every tree-health concern.
Canopy access and what sits below
The crew considers drop zones, fragile surfaces, neighbouring boundaries and what sits beneath the canopy. Work near electrical infrastructure may require the relevant network provider or an appropriately authorised contractor.
