How It Works
Tree Pruning in Tyldesley, FAQs
Wigan Council holds the records, and checking is straightforward. We do it as part of quoting. If a TPO applies, or the tree stands in the conservation area near the town centre, consent is needed before any work.
It depends on the species. Most trees respond best to winter pruning while dormant, but some, like cherries and plums, should only be cut in summer to avoid disease. We prune to the tree’s calendar, not ours.
Crown reduction makes the whole tree smaller by cutting back to lower growth points, keeping a natural shape. Crown thinning keeps the tree the same size but removes selected branches so more light and wind pass through. Thinning is often the answer when the real problem is shade, not size.
As a rule of thumb, no more than about a third of the live crown in a single season. Cutting harder than that stresses the tree and triggers a mess of weak, fast regrowth. If a tree needs a big reduction, it’s often better done in stages a year or two apart. We’ll advise on what the tree can take.
We prune and remove small to medium garden trees where they can be brought down safely in sections. Large trees, or anything hazardous near buildings, roads or power lines, needs a specialist tree surgeon with climbing and rigging kit, and we’ll tell you honestly if your job falls into that bracket.
