S. Thompson Tree Services are professional NPTC qualified tree surgeons offering tree surgery and tree felling services in Barnsley and throughout South Yorkshire.
In Crown lifting, the lower level tree branches are removed so that tree canopy starts higher from the ground.
This may need to be carried out for a number of reasons such as providing better access under the tree, to improve sight lines or simply to allow more light to penetrate the ground.
When carried out correctly, crown lifting does much less damage to the tree than other forms of pruning and is best done in steps over a period of time.
