TREE FELLING
Tree felling is essential when a tree becomes hazardous, diseased, or too close to buildings. Our trained team safely removes trees using climbing techniques or MEWP machinery where needed. We also handle council permissions for trees under TPOs or in conservation areas, ensuring all removals are carried out responsibly and within legal guidelines.

CROWN REDUCTION AND CROWN LIFTING
Crown reduction reduces a tree’s height or spread while preserving its natural form. Crown lifting removes lower branches to boost light and improve access. These techniques help manage tree size, increase sunlight penetration, and reduce shading, while maintaining health and structure, especially when performed by experienced professionals on older or mature trees.
CROWN THINNING
Crown thinning is a method of selective pruning that reduces crown density while keeping the tree’s shape. By removing weak, crossing, or diseased branches, airflow and light can better pass through the canopy. This technique improves structural balance and reduces wind resistance without significantly altering the tree’s overall appearance or health.
PRUNING
Pruning supports tree health by removing dead, diseased, or overgrown branches. It encourages strong regrowth and natural wound healing while controlling size and shape. At Henry’s Horticulture ARB, all pruning follows BS3998 standards to preserve the tree’s natural defence system and maintain the health, structure, and longevity of trees and shrubs.
TREE TOPPING
Tree topping involves severe cutting back of a tree’s branches and foliage, often leaving only stubs. This damaging practice weakens tree structure, encourages decay, and can even kill certain species. It is generally discouraged and only used when a tree poses a serious safety risk and cannot be managed through proper pruning techniques.
POLLARDING
Pollarding is a pruning method where upper branches are cut back to form a controlled framework above the trunk. It’s used to maintain tree size, reduce shade, and clear overhead obstructions like wires or streetlights. This traditional technique is ideal for managing growth in tight spaces and creating structured, ornamental shapes in gardens or streetscapes.
STUMP GRINDING
Tree stumps can remain harmlessly in the ground, but they take a long time to naturally decompose. If you're looking to replant, lay new lawn, or simply enhance the appearance of your garden, stump removal is often necessary. We offer professional stump grinding services to remove stumps below ground level, creating a clear, tidy space ready for your next outdoor project.
