Tree Surgery
Reducing, thinning, lifting and shaping trees so they fit the space they are in.
Most trees do not need to come down. They need to be made smaller, lighter or further from the house, and good pruning does that while leaving a tree that still looks like a tree.
Reducing the height and spread of the crown by cutting back to suitable growth points, so the tree is smaller but keeps its natural shape.
Removing a proportion of the smaller branches through the crown to let more light through and reduce the weight the tree carries in the wind.
Removing the lowest branches to give clearance over a lawn, a drive, a path or a road.
Taking out dead branches that could fall, particularly over paths, play areas and parked cars.
Giving clearance from roofs, gutters, windows and walls.

Yes, but for most work you have to tell the council first. Trees in a conservation area are protected by section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, which requires six weeks' notice before carrying out the work. The council can let it go ahead sooner, or make a Tree Preservation Order to protect the tree.

The government guidance says you can trim branches or roots that cross into your property from a neighbour's property or a public road, but only up to the boundary. Go further and your neighbour could take you to court. If the tree is protected or in a conservation area, check with the council first.

No. Topping cuts the top off regardless of where the branches grow from, and usually leaves a tree that regrows badly. A crown reduction cuts back to suitable growth points so the tree keeps its shape.
