Tree pruning in Slough

Tree pruning should solve a clear problem. That may be space above a roof, damaged growth that needs removing or one part of an overgrown crown. We agree which tree and branches are involved, and what you want the finished tree to look like.

Slough gardens range from open plots to enclosed rear gardens with narrow side passages. A branch above a conservatory, shed or neighbour's garden may need to be lowered by rope. Whole-tree photographs help us see the position, although we may still need to visit before agreeing the cuts.

Crown lifting creates clearance beneath lower branches. Crown thinning removes selected internal growth without reducing the outside dimensions. Crown reduction shortens the height or spread while keeping a balanced branch structure. Deadwooding removes dead branches. Naming the intended result prevents a vague request to cut the tree back from turning into the wrong job.

Before pruning starts, check whether the tree has a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area. Slough Borough Council holds the local record. Send any council decision or reference so the quoted work matches the approved wording.

Send photographs of the whole tree, the space below it and the narrowest point between the garden and road. Gates, steps, tight turns and delicate paving affect how branches can be lowered and carried. A close photograph of leaves is less useful for pricing than a wide view that shows the tree beside the property.

Clean-up is included in every job. We agree what happens to branches, chip and timber before work starts. We are qualified tree surgeons, established 2008, with £10 million public liability insurance.
