Professional Crown Thinning Services

Native Forest provides professional crown thinning services across Surrey and Hampshire. Crown thinning is a specialist pruning technique designed to selectively reduce canopy density, allowing more light to reach the ground and wind to pass more freely through the tree. This helps improve structural balance, resilience and overall tree health.

Crown thinning services we offer

  • Selective branch removal — Reduces crown density while maintaining natural shape
  • Dead, diseased and ivy-covered limb removal — Improves tree health and safety
  • Light penetration improvement — Encourages healthier undergrowth and surrounding plants
  • Wind resistance enhancement — Reduces sail effect in exposed conditions
  • Canopy balance and refinement — Enhances appearance without over-pruning
