Tree Pruning & Crown Reduction

Kilsyth

Kilsyth sits on a narrow strip of ground between the steep rise of the Kilsyth Hills and the River Kelvin, so gardens on the north side of town are often sloped — that changes how we rig and lower material safely.

A lot of the town's housing dates from the 1950s slum-clearance rebuild or newer estates since built, so older gardens tend to need crown reduction while newer estates are usually formative pruning.

There should always be a reason behind a prune — better light, reduced risk, a specific shape — rather than trimming a tree simply for being large. We factor in safety, nearby rooflines and roads, and the tree's condition before recommending crown reduction or a lighter prune.
