Tree Pruning Manchester – North Cheshire Forestry

When it comes to tree pruning or trimming, North Cheshire Forestry has a wealth of experience with over thirty years in the industry. That experience is vital because if done incorrectly, the consequences for the tree, both in terms of appearance and health, can be devastating.

Simply arbitrarily removing branches can lead to a tree with an unbalanced appearance, an increase in deadwood from incorrect pruning cuts, and, in severe cases on some larger trees, incorrect trimming can lead to instability and safety issues.

North Cheshire Forestry avoids these issues by following industry best practice for all our tree pruning and trimming work. To guarantee this, all our staff are NPTC qualified, holding the industry-standard certifications for competence. Furthermore, we are fully insured, giving you complete peace of mind that your property is in safe hands.

We consider tree variety, the time of year, the tree’s natural shape, and your specific goals. All our work is carried out to BS 3998:2010 ‘Tree Work – Recommendations’, ensuring a safe and professional service is carried out on your trees.

Our Tree Pruning Considerations

When trimming or pruning a tree, keeping its natural shape is a primary concern. Trees are a beautiful feature of any garden and deserve to be pruned in a way that preserves their natural form and growth patterns. Other key considerations include:

  • Using/following industy best practices to prevent dieback and disease.
  • Ensuring the tree’s continued stability and structural integrity.
  • Not removing too much of the leaf area, which can stress the tree and cause health issues.

If you are unsure which type of pruning is best for your tree, we will be more than happy to go through the various options with you. We will always guide you towards the best outcome to preserve the tree’s health and balance wherever possible.

For example, if you’re looking for extra light in your garden, a crown thin is often a much better option than simply removing the top. This technique preserves the tree’s natural shape while allowing more sunlight to filter through to your garden and also reduces wind resistance in the canopy.

Avoiding dieback when tree pruning is essential, both for the tree’s visual appeal and its long-term health. There are safety concerns as well. Deadwood on larger trees can become a significant hazard, with a strong gust of wind being all it takes for timber to break free and fall to the ground.

We avoid these issues by making precise, correct cuts at designated pruning points, ensuring the tree can heal properly and continue to grow free from dieback, all while maintaining its natural, beautiful shape.
