Crown Reduction & Pruning in Clare
Crown reduction, thinning, lifting and deadwooding by NPTC-certified arborists, keeping trees across Co. Clare healthy, safe and the right size.
Pruning That Helps the Tree
A tree that seems too big or too dark often just needs the right pruning. A well-planned crown reduction or thinning lets light into the garden, takes weight off long limbs, lowers wind resistance — useful in exposed parts of Clare — and keeps the tree healthy.
We follow recognised good practice: clean cuts at the right points, and never "topping" or "lopping", which harms trees and causes weak, dense regrowth. Depending on the site we work from a cherry picker or spider lift, or climb the tree on ropes.
From town gardens and housing estates to schools, hotels and farm shelter belts, we can also put together a regular maintenance plan for properties with a lot of trees.

Crown Reduction & Pruning FAQs
Questions people in Clare often ask about pruning. Don’t see yours? Get in touch.
Ask a QuestionNo. Reduction makes the whole crown smaller, lowering the height and spread. Thinning removes some of the smaller branches throughout the crown to let light and wind through, without changing the overall size.
Most trees can be pruned for much of the year, but some species are best done at particular times, and nesting birds must be considered. We’ll recommend the right timing for your trees.
Not when it’s done correctly. Harm comes from over-pruning and topping, which we don’t do. We remove only what’s needed, with clean cuts the tree can seal over.
