Deadwood out, crown reduced
Weight and sail off a tree that should stay. Shaping when the brief asks.
Keep-the-tree surgery — deadwood, crown reduction, shaping
Deadwood removal and crown reduction in Somerset West
Deadwood removal, crown reduction and tree shaping in Somerset West. Keep-the-tree surgery. Supporting card, not the felling hero.
01
Deadwood and crown reduction on this site are surgery that keeps the tree — not a second fell, and not a weekly garden prune.
A Somerset West tree can stay and still need wood out of the crown. Somerset West Tree Felling takes deadwood, reduces crowns and shapes trees in Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay as a supporting keep-the-tree card. Ranking crews already name crown reduction, shaping, thinning and deadwood. The ordinary prune card stays clearance and light. This page is the heavier surgery that is still not a fell. If the stem is finished, the honest brief is felling or hazardous-tree removal. We will say so. We will not sell crown reduction as a way to avoid a fell the tree already needs. Helderberg wind is why people ask for less sail in the crown — basin colour, not a laboratory wind rating we will print. Send the suburb and photographs of the crown. We quote after a look. No Rand figure. No invented reduction percentage as ours.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Heavier than a trim, lighter than a fell
The prune card is clearance. This card is surgery. Felling is next door if the stem is finished.
No percentage as our spec
We will not print a crown-reduction figure as ours. The visit sets the cut.

Straight answers
Questions about deadwood / crown reduction.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Is crown reduction enough, or does the tree have to come down?+
Sometimes reduction is enough. Sometimes the stem is finished. The visit says which. We will not sell surgery to avoid an honest fell.
Is this the same as ordinary pruning?+
Related, heavier. Clearance and light live on the prune card. Deadwood and reduction live here.
Do you print a reduction percentage?+
No. Other operators may. They are not our spec.
