This specialised pruning technique is designed to manage tree growth, promote longevity, and maintain safety. Our experienced tree surgeons carry out pollarding with precision, ensuring your trees remain healthy while preventing potential hazards.
Tree pollarding is a pruning method that involves the removal of all branches from the main trunk, leaving a framework of primary limbs. This encourages new growth while keeping the tree’s size under control. Pollarding is a long-term tree management strategy that requires regular maintenance to prevent excessive regrowth and structural weakness.
Pollarding offers numerous advantages, making it an essential practice for certain tree species and urban environments:
Pollarding restricts the overall height and spread of a tree, making it ideal for areas where space is limited. This is especially useful for trees growing near buildings, roads, or power lines.
By regularly removing upper branches, pollarding can extend a tree’s lifespan. It promotes healthy regrowth and prevents the tree from becoming too large and unstable.
Unmanaged trees can develop weak, heavy branches that may break and fall during storms or high winds. Pollarding minimises the risk of falling branches, ensuring the safety of pedestrians, vehicles, and nearby structures.
Pollarded trees produce a dense canopy of new shoots, which can enhance their aesthetic appeal and provide valuable shade in urban areas.
Tree roots and overhanging branches can cause structural damage to buildings, pavements, and underground utilities. Pollarding keeps tree growth in check, reducing the risk of costly damage.
At Sevenoaks Tree Care, we follow a careful and systematic approach to pollarding, ensuring the best results for your trees.
Used them for years, cannot fault them!
Excellent communication from Rob and the team. Friendly and efficient on the day of the job. People have commented on how well the large tree has been shaped. Very polite and excellent tidy up & disposal.
We had a very positive throughout the whole process. We needed large conifers cropping and a seriously overgrown magnolia pruning. They were reliable, courteous and tidy!
Brilliant service from Rob and the team arrived on time, were polite and professional throughout, and did a fantastic job tidying up our trees. They worked efficiently and left everything spotless. Really impressed with their knowledge and care - highly recommend to anyone looking for quality tree work!
This is the third time that Rob and his team have been back, which shows how reliable and competent they are as a company. This time I needed a large overhanging sweet chestnut tree cut back (from a neighbours plot) and Rob and Ryan were able to fit us in with very short notice (due to other works being done in the garden,) They work really fast, do a great job, leave the area how they find it, and I only ever use them when I need trees cut back (and there are a lot!).
Excellent service from start to finish. No hesitation in recommending them to others.
At Sevenoaks Tree Care, we are committed to sustainable tree management. All cuttings and branches removed during pollarding are recycled responsibly, with waste materials used for biomass energy, composting, or firewood. We always prioritise the health and preservation of trees where possible.
