Tree Pollarding In Surrey And The South East
Tree pollarding is a tree pruning technique used to control the size and height of trees.
The pollarding process removes most upper branches and leaves only a basic framework, including the trunk and a few main limbs.
Pollarding is a popular pruning choice for trees in urban settings where space is limited, and public safety is a concern.
While pollarding can be an effective tree management method, it can also be harmful if performed incorrectly.
Surrey Tree Surgeons have the skill, experience and equipment necessary to pollard your trees both safely and efficiently.
Not all trees are suitable for pollarding; pollarding the wrong tree can lead to future problems, including killing the tree entirely.
Suitable and commonly pollarded trees include London planes, maples, limes, oaks and willows.
For safety reasons, once a tree has been pollarded, it must be routinely re-pollarded every two to three years.
It’s best to pollard trees during the dormant season, usually in winter, to minimise stress and allow the tree to recover before the growing season.
