Large tree with bare branches in a green field under cloudy sky.

Crown Lift

Crown lifting removes a tree's lower branches to raise the height at which the canopy starts. It's one of the simplest interventions, especially in gardens where a mature tree has grown low enough to interfere with paths, lawns, drives or buildings, or throws too much shade on the garden below.

When Crown Lifting is needed.

Why it matters.

Crown lifting lets light back into your garden allowing you to reclaim more usable space. 

When it's the right answer.

For clearance over a drive, path or road (UK guidance: 5.2m over a road, 2.5m over a footpath), to stop branches scraping a roof or gutter, to let light onto a lawn or bed underneath, to open up a view, or to make the ground under the tree usable again.

How it works

Branches come off from the bottom up to a target height, aiming for a natural transition from clear stem to full canopy, never a stripped pole with a mop on top. As a rule the live crown stays at least two-thirds of the tree's height. Cuts are made back to the branch collar, never flush, never stubbed. BS3998 throughout.
