Overview
Traditional Tree Management for Urban Environments
Pollarding is a traditional arboricultural method involving the removal of the upper branches of a tree to promote a dense head of foliage and branches. While it may look drastic, it is an essential management technique for certain species—such as Willow, Lime, and Plane trees—especially when they are located in restricted urban spaces or near utility lines.
Our tree care experts use pollarding to keep trees at a specified height, preventing them from outgrowing their environment while extending their lifespan. When performed correctly by professional arborists, pollarding maintains the health of the tree while significantly reducing the risk of branch failure and storm damage.

Tree Removal
Specialist Pollarding by Professional Arborists
Tree Surgery provides expert pollarding and long-term tree care services across Newbury and the surrounding areas. Pollarding is often started when a tree reaches a certain height and is then maintained on a regular cycle (usually every 1–5 years) to prevent the new growth from becoming too heavy for the trunk.
This method is highly effective for preventing trees from interfering with buildings or overhead cables. Our fully insured and qualified team ensures that every cut is precise, encouraging healthy regrowth and preventing the entry of decay or disease into the main stem.

Comprehensive Tree Care & Health Assessments
Beyond pollarding, we offer a full suite of tree care services across Berkshire. From soil de-compaction to disease diagnosis and crown management, our goal is to ensure your trees remain a beautiful and safe part of your landscape.
Our tree surgeons are experts in identifying signs of stress or decay that may not be visible to the untrained eye. We work closely with both domestic homeowners and commercial property managers to provide proactive care, preventing small issues from becoming expensive or dangerous problems.
Safety remains our primary concern. Whether we are pollarding a row of street trees or providing care for a specimen tree in a private garden, we utilise the latest climbing and rigging equipment to ensure a controlled and professional environment.
Late winter or early spring is generally the best time, as the tree is dormant and will respond with vigorous growth in the spring.
No. While some species like Willow and Lime respond well, others may die or become diseased if pollarded. Our arborists can advise if your tree is suitable.
Once a tree has been pollarded, it usually needs to be "re-pollarded" every 2 to 5 years to manage the new growth.
Some trees are protected by law or subject to planning restrictions. Our team can advise you and handle any necessary permissions before starting work.
We offer prompt emergency tree services for hazardous or fallen trees. Response times depend on availability, but we prioritise urgent cases to keep your property safe.
