Tree Pruning

Tree pruning is an essential part of long-term tree care. It involves the selective removal of branches to improve the structure, health, safety, and appearance of your trees. At Chichester Tree Solutions (CTS), we provide expert pruning services tailored to each tree’s species, condition, and environment.

Why Tree Pruning Is Important

Regular and professional pruning helps your trees in the following ways:

• Encourages strong, healthy branch structure

• Removes diseased, damaged, or dead limbs

• Reduces the risk of falling branches and storm damage

• Improves air circulation and sunlight penetration

• Enhances natural shape and aesthetics

• Prevents obstruction of buildings, cables, and views

Types of Tree Pruning

We offer a range of pruning techniques depending on the tree’s needs, age, and surroundings:

• Formative Pruning: Guides young trees into strong, well-balanced structures to avoid future problems.

• Maintenance Pruning: Keeps mature trees in good condition, removing problematic limbs while preserving natural form.

• Restorative Pruning: Helps recover overgrown, storm-damaged, or neglected trees by removing crossing or unhealthy branches.

• Hazard Pruning: Targets limbs that pose safety risks due to decay, weakness, or poor attachment.

• Pollarding: A controlled, cyclical pruning method used on specific species to restrict size and encourage dense regrowth.
