Crown Thinning
At The Art of Tree Surgery, we provide expert crown thinning services to improve the health, safety, and appearance of your trees. By selectively removing smaller branches throughout the crown, we reduce wind resistance, allow more light to filter through, and promote balanced growth. Our careful approach ensures your tree retains its natural shape while enhancing both its strength and beauty.

Some common questions we get
asked about Crown Thinning
Crown thinning is the selective removal of smaller branches within the tree’s crown to reduce its density, allowing more light and air to pass through without altering the tree’s overall size or shape.
This service is often chosen to improve light levels in gardens or buildings, reduce wind resistance to make the tree safer in storms, and enhance the tree’s overall health.
When carried out professionally, crown thinning is safe and promotes healthier growth. At The Art of Tree Surgery, we always follow industry best practice (BS3998) to ensure the tree’s structure and vitality are protected.
Typically, no more than 30% of the crown is thinned in one session. This balance ensures the tree retains its natural strength and appearance while achieving the desired results.
Most trees only need crown thinning every 3–5 years, depending on species, growth rate, and location. We provide personalised advice to help you maintain your trees safely and effectively.
