Herring Most trees don't need removing. Pruning, crown reduction or crown thinning can often resolve the problem while keeping the tree in place.
When removal is the sensible option
- The tree is dead or dying
- It's structurally unsound or storm damaged beyond recovery
- It's growing in a genuinely unsuitable location
- It's interfering with a building's foundations or structure
- It's preventing planned building work or landscaping
- Repeated pruning would leave an unnatural, unhealthy shape
When it's worth keeping
If a tree is healthy but simply too large, crown reduction or thinning can often bring it back under control without removing it entirely. We'll always explain both options where they genuinely exist, rather than defaulting to removal.
