Pruning Bournemouth's big garden trees
Bournemouth's sandy soil grows big trees fast, and many gardens now have more tree than garden.
The most common job we do in town is a crown reduction: taking 1 to 3 metres off the height and spread of an oak, sycamore, beech or lime so it sits comfortably with the house again. Use the buttons on the picture to compare the sizes.
Pines need a different approach. They don't regrow from bare wood, so heavy cutting does them no good. For pines we lift low branches, remove dead and damaged wood, and reduce weight on long limbs that hang over roofs.
Done badly, pruning can do lasting harm: topping, lion-tailing and stubs that rot. We cut back to natural branch junctions, keep the crown balanced, and take away everything we cut.
