Before and after on this Large Oak tree prune. The clients loved the tree but wanted to reduce the canopy and the leaf litter in the autumn.

Canopy reduced, all deadwood removed, all debris chipped and left in a pile for the client.

2 Arborists in the canopy, climbed and pruned it. Reducing the canopy by approx 20%.

Got a tree you love that needs some care and attention, feel free to get in touch.
