Pollarding a tree means pruning it to remove its upper branches. Pollarding helps to keep trees healthy and safe and prevents them outgrowing their available space.

We carry out pollarding in the colder months, mainly in winter and spring, which reduces the risk of damage and stress to the tree. Our pollarding is carefully planned to minimise disruption to nesting birds and local wildlife.

If there is a nest, under the wildlife protection regulations, we will not pollard the tree. Broadleaf trees such as beeches, oaks, maples and planes all benefit from pollarding.

How pollarding works might affect you

We kindly request your cooperation if you are affected by pollarding works.

We will deliver postcards to residents affected by the works.

We may have to close some roads temporarily to enable safe and efficient pollarding. Affected roads will be clearly marked with parking suspension notices.

If your road is affected, please don’t park close to the marked trees as access is crucial for our teams to carry out the necessary work.
