When should you prune a tree?
Most trees benefit from pruning in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. However, the ideal timing depends on the species, flowering trees are best pruned immediately after flowering. We assess your tree and recommend the right approach.
During the breeding season (15 March – 15 July) we always check for active bird nests before pruning. We work across North Holland: Alkmaar, Haarlem, Amsterdam, Hoorn, Purmerend, Zaandam and Heerhugowaard.
Types of tree pruning we carry out
- Crown reduction: reduce size while maintaining natural shape
- Crown lifting: raise the canopy base
- Deadwood removal: safety and health pruning
- Formative pruning: shaping young trees
- Pollarding: regular cutting back to pollard points
