Crown reduction is a specialised pruning technique used to control the size and shape of mature trees. It helps maintain structural integrity, prevents overgrowth, and protects surrounding properties from large or unbalanced branches. This technique is especially useful in urban spaces where trees need to coexist with buildings, wires, and other infrastructure.

Unlike heavy trimming or topping, crown reduction involves careful cuts made just above lateral branches. This encourages healthy regrowth while preserving the tree’s natural form. Done properly, it improves air circulation and reduces the risk of limb failure during storms or high winds.

At Oakwood Landscaping Dublin, we take a considered and conservation-first approach to every crown reduction. Our arborists assess each tree individually, selecting the right technique for both safety and long-term vitality. We work cleanly, safely, and in full compliance with local tree protection laws.
