Urban trees need to be maintained, as they can become a danger to the public. Old wounds can become weak points on the tree. Trees naturally produce dead wood, which can be removed before it falls causing damage to property or people. Trees often have growth abnormalities which can be corrected with structural pruning, as the tree matures, before they become potential weak points .
All these things cause potential hazards. Trees that are growing near to houses may have their branches interfering with gutters or windows. The tree may be just far too big for the size of garden it is in.
A professional arborist can spot such risks and remedy them before any greater damage is done
Advanced tree climbing techniques are used to access trees and undertake any necessary tree surgery operations.

Crown Thinning
A type of pruning that involves removing an equal amount of smaller branches throughout the entire crown, resulting in a reduction of the density and weight of the tree’s crown, allowing more light and air to penetrate.
Often will improve the appearance of the tree without damaging its natural shape, also results in a healthier and safer tree because at the same time dead, dying and dangerous branches can be removed.
Can also be used as way of opening up views through a tree crown, without having to damage too much the tree.

Crown Lifting
This operation involves removing the lower branches of a tree, as another way of letting light through under the crown, opening up pathways or allowing pedestrians/vehicles to pass below. The trees wellbeing should be taken into account and not more than a third of the lower crown should be removed.
Crown Reduction
When a tree is too large for it´s position, rather than removing completly or topping a tree, it can be sensitively reduced without compromising the shape or health of the tree.
Cable Bracing
Cable bracing is used to support structurally weak trees that are susceptible to damage from winds, storms, or even the weight of their own foliage.
This support technique uses specially designed hardware to make the tree more structurally stable and therefore avoid irreversible damage caused by breaking limbs and extend the trees life span.
