Tree Topping
White City Tree Care Ltd provides responsible tree topping and canopy management for properties where height or spread presents a risk or restricts light. We focus on careful, considered work that enhances safety, improves clearance, and protects tree health wherever possible.
What We Offer
Our services include controlled crown reduction, canopy thinning, and careful reshaping of large trees. We prioritise selective crown reduction and thinning over aggressive topping, to maintain tree health while achieving safer, more manageable sizes. Every project is assessed individually to determine the most suitable approach for the tree and its surroundings.
Our Service Process:
- Site assessment — inspect tree health, structure and surrounding risk.
- Recommended approach — suggest crown reduction, thinning or selective topping only if needed.
- Safety planning — establish safe working zones and protective measures.
- Controlled reduction — reduce height and reshape canopy using careful cutting techniques.
- Aftercare & disposal — chip, remove or recycle arisings and leave the site clean.
