Expertly Trained Tree Surgeons

Nature Awareness
Trees are the perfect habitat for bats and birds to roost and breed. We take safety precautions to ensure that we do not endanger any wildlife that may be residing in your trees. If we find anything, this does not necessarily halt our services, but we make sure to follow the government’s guidelines.

A Range of Services
As well as crown reductions, we also offer a range of services to from maintenance and conservation of your existing trees to planting new ones. Crown reductions are one of the most common maintenance jobs we perform, but we are also well-versed in lifting, felling, and dismantling trees.

Debris is inevitable after any tree services, but at Tom Francis Tree Services, we ensure that the chippings, clippings, and foliage as a result of us is disposed of and not left behind. It is important to us that we leave your site in the same condition as when we arrived.
Crown Reduction in Harlestone
Is your tree getting too big for its surroundings? You likely need a crown reduction.
We are local tree surgeons with expert knowledge of trees in Harlestone. We can provide advice about the trees around the area with an adept understanding of the land and weather conditions and how this affects your trees growth and overall health.
The Woodland Trust has warned that tree disease has become ever-present in the UK, so it is more important than ever to care for your trees. Simple maintenance services such as crown reductions can help prevent disease by cutting off deadwood and avoiding the need to have your tree cut down.
We use specialist equipment that means we avoid causing damage to healthy branches and promote strong regrowth with leaf bearing integrity.
When we assess your tree, we will advise you as to whether a crown reduction is the right cause of action. We can tell very quickly whether a crown reduction is needed, but if not, we offer a whole range of other services that can address the problem.
What Is A Crown Reduction?
A crown reduction is a service that involves reducing the weighting of the branches to alleviate stress on the limb. We do this by reducing the height and scaling back the width at which the tree spreads.
There are a few reasons why this is an important service to your tree. Firstly, it prevents deadwood from tainting healthy branches and reduces the risk of tree disease. It also improves your tree’s structural integrity, making it more wind resistant and less likely to fail when exposed to harsh weather conditions that may be inflicted upon them in Harlestone.
It is also important because when your tree outgrows its space, it stumps growth. By having Tom France Tree Services perform a crown reduction on your trees, you are giving your trees the optimal opportunity for healthy growth and longevity.
There are also subsequent effects on your day-to-day life if your tree is not properly maintained. Not least of all because the risk of branches snapping and falling poses the possibility of safety hazards, but also because it can block essential sunlight to your space and the surrounding vegetation.
All tree services are unique, so we carry out an assessment before starting any crown reductions to agree upon a price and timescale with you. The time it takes to carry out a service varies depending on the size and position of your trees and whether there are any other problems that need attending to.
After we have completed the service, our team will clear up any debris caused as a result of the crown reduction, so you do not have to take unnecessary and inconvenient trips to the dump. We always work with care and courtesy, causing as little disruption to your land and schedule.
