POLLARDING
Pollarding is a tree management technique used by K.B. Trees and Hedges Ltd to help extend the life of deteriorating trees. If a tree shows significant dieback in the canopy or is in rapid decline, pollarding can provide a second chance for recovery.
The process involves carefully removing the crown of the tree back to the main fork of the trunk. By reducing the strain on the roots, the tree is less stressed and better able to focus its energy on survival.
Following pollarding, the tree produces new epicormic shoots from the remaining trunk, supporting regrowth and stability.
CROWN REDUCTIONS, SHAPING, PRUNING & THINNING
Each tree is carefully assessed by a qualified member of the team, taking into account its shape, size, species, condition and location. All work is carried out to leave the tree safe, well-balanced, and in line with best arboricultural practice. Branches are removed using the ABC cut method to minimise the risk of tearing, and all final cuts are made at the branch collar, ensuring the collar remains intact. Flush cuts are never made.
Our pruning practices follow the standards set out in BS3998 guidelines. Large limbs are safely lowered using ropes and slings to protect both the tree and its surroundings, with all sections brought to the ground in a controlled manner. Dead, diseased or damaged branches are pruned back to the branch collar, and in cases of crossing or rubbing branches, careful assessment ensures the best outcome while maintaining a natural and healthy overall shape.
