Re-pollarding poplars in Chorlton

Our customer was concerned that the two mature previously pollarded poplars at the back of their rear garden were getting too large for the space.  They were blocking out a lot of the light to the garden and the feeling was that they had been pollarded too high previously.  We re-pollarded them at a lower height to allow much more light into the garden whilst maintaining the much appreciated screen at a lower level where it was needed more.

Birch reduction in Urmston

We reduced the crown of this young, but tall silver birch, to keep it’s growth in check and allow more light into the back garden.  Large pruning cuts on birch trees are susceptible to infection so if a tree’s crown size is to be restricted then pruning little and often is the order of the day.
