What is Crown Thinning?
Do your trees just need a little pruning?
Crown thinning removes dead, crossing and crowded branches without losing the overall size and shape of the tree’s crown.
Effective crown thinning can provide a number of benefits:
- Reducing the canopy density allows more air and sunlight to reach lower branches, as well as grass and flowers growing underneath the tree.
- Removing dead, damaged and co-dominant branches helps to keep your trees safe from disease and further damage – and helps to keep people safe from falling branches!
- Thinning branches reduces the weight and wind resistance of a tree, which can help to prevent uprooting and damage in strong winds.
- Any branches that might impact the growth of neighbouring branches can be pruned early, maintaining a balanced and beautiful crown shape.
With more than 20 years of industry experience, Acorn’s skilled arborists can take care of all tree species; providing the optimal percentage of crown thinning to keep yours healthy and strong.

What is Crown Reduction?
If you’ve got a tree which has grown too large for its surroundings, crown reduction can help to bring it back under control. The process trims the length of branches fairly evenly across the whole tree crown, reducing its height and spread. It’s also useful for renovating a deformed or misshapen crown, leaving you with a more clean and aesthetically pleasing tree shape.
Reducing the crown while protecting the tree’s long-term health is a challenging task, requiring careful consideration and precision. Our expert team can advise you on whether your tree’s species is a good candidate for crown reduction, or if thinning may be a more suitable and affordable option for you.
