Pollarding

An ancient technique that allows trees to be heavily pruned.
We specialise in pollarding to significantly manage the size and shape of your trees.

In our experience of pollarding from an aesthetics point of view, our customers either love it or hate it!

Pollarded trees are common place throughout the UK. Pollarding is done for many reasons (a few of which are mentioned below)

  • To restrict the growth of a tree in a confined space.
  • To maintain the height and spread of a tree.
  • To create a formal shape.
  • To encourage the production of stems with more colourful leaves and decorative bark.
  • To produce larger than usual leaves.
  • To limit stabilising root development.

What is Pollarding and why is it used?

Pollarding is a highly effective pruning method that involves regularaly cutting back the smaller branches of a tree to a point called the Knuckle. This dramatically reduces the size of a tree and promotes a flush of new growth.

There are many misconceptions about pollarding from

  • The age of the tree that can be pollarded.
  • The time of year it should be done.
  • Tree species that respond to pollarding.

Our experienced surveyors will provide you with expert advice on how we can pollard your tree, tailored to meet your needs and the needs of each tree.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We have a tried and tested tree pollarding service to deliver exceptional results.

At Beechwood Tree Care, we understand that every customer and tree is unique.

Therefore, we do not offer a one-size-fits-all solution but instead tailor our tree pruning service to your specific needs.

Our experienced surveyors will advise you on the best course of action for your trees while ensuring your desired results are achieved by assessing the condition and location of your trees, considering factors such as species, age, and surrounding environment.

Together with you our surveyor will create a detailed specification for any pollaring works.

We will create a bespoke quotation summarising the discussed works and email it to you within 24 hours.

Your quotation will include a detailed description of the workds, along with photos and videos to clarify the scope.

You will have access to our online portal, where you can view, ask questions, and accept your quotation.

A copy of our insurance will be included with your quotation, and other documentation, such as Risk Assessments, is available upon request.

The Beechwood team will manage the entire process, including obtaining any necessary permissions and providing required documentation.

We will fully engage with any site requirements, such as meetings, compliance, and inductions.

On the day of the work, our team will:

  1. Arrive on time.
  2. Have a foreman on hand to oversee the job and ensure your satisfaction.
  3. Carry out the agreed works to the specified standards.
  4. Leave the site as clean or cleaner than we found it.
  5. Strive to make your experience with Beechwood a frictionless and pleasant one.

After the completion of your works to your satisfaction, we will get in touch to discuss and plan your future tree management needs.
