Crown Reductions That Keep The Tree Alive
CEO Landscaping carries out crown reductions across Coalisland, Dungannon, Cookstown and seven more Tyrone towns, bringing trees pressing against houses, windows or wires back down to a manageable size without killing them or leaving them lopsided. Every job is quoted free first, and the site is left clear and tidy.
How the job runs
A crown reduction is the answer when a tree is too big for its spot but does not need to come down completely: a tree pressing against upstairs windows, growing into overhead wires, or simply casting too much shade over a garden it used to fit in comfortably.
Done properly, a reduction keeps the tree's natural shape and health intact, just at a size that suits where it is actually growing.
When a reduction is the right call
Trees pressing against windows or walls, growing into power lines, or overshadowing a garden are the most common reasons for a reduction. It is a way to keep a mature tree rather than losing it entirely.
How much comes off
That depends on the tree and what it is pressing against. A hard reduction brings a tree down significantly in one visit; a lighter reduction is sometimes better spread across more than one visit to avoid stressing the tree.
After the work
Branches and brash are taken away and the ground under the tree is left tidy. The tree itself is left balanced, not lopsided, so it keeps growing naturally at its new size.
Where We Run Reductions
Every town on the list gets the same service.
Frequently asked questions
A crown reduction cuts a tree back down to a smaller, more manageable size while keeping its natural shape, rather than removing it completely or topping it flat.
Yes, trees pressing against walls or windows are one of the most common reasons for a reduction. We bring the crown back to clear the building safely.
Not when it is done properly. We reduce to a size and shape the species can handle, and where a very hard cut back is needed we can spread it across more than one visit to protect the tree.
It depends on the tree's size, species and how much needs to come off. We give a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
If the tree is healthy and you want to keep it, a reduction is usually the better option. We will always give you an honest answer on which suits your tree, not just the bigger job.
Most reduced trees need revisiting every few years as new growth comes through, though this varies a lot by species and how hard the first reduction was.
We can reduce trees near power lines, though very close work directly on lines may need to be coordinated with the electricity network. Send a photo and we will advise honestly.
Yes, all cut branches and brash are taken away as part of the job, and the ground beneath the tree is left tidy.
No, a proper reduction keeps the tree balanced and natural looking, just smaller. A badly done reduction is what leaves a tree lopsided, which is exactly what we avoid.
Yes, reducing a tree's crown is a common way to bring more light into a garden that has become overshadowed, without losing the tree completely.
