Need to Tame That Overgrown Tree? We Can Help
Overgrown trees can quickly turn from a beautiful feature into a daily hassle. When branches spread too wide or climb too high, they can block sunlight, press against rooftops, interfere with power lines, or overshadow your garden. The imbalance can make your tree more susceptible to wind damage and even cause long-term harm to its structure. Worse still, improper DIY trimming often results in unnatural shapes, weakened limbs, or irreversible damage.
At Tree Amigos, we understand the frustration and safety concerns associated with oversized trees. That’s why our crown reduction service is designed to restore balance and health through targeted, expert cuts. Based in Lewes, East Sussex, we proudly serve surrounding areas, including Brighton, Haywards Heath, and nearby communities.
We carefully assess each tree’s condition, growth pattern, and environment before pruning to British Standard B.S. 3998. Our goal is simple: keep your trees safe, manageable, and beautiful. We don’t just cut for convenience, we prune with purpose, preserving the natural shape while making your space safer and more enjoyable. Whether you’re dealing with a tree that’s outgrown its space or simply want to prevent future issues, we’re your trusted local solution.

Precision Pruning That Protects and Beautifies
Crown reduction pruning is more than just trimming; it’s about protecting your property, preserving your trees, and enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space. We take pride in offering thoughtful, expertly executed pruning services that deliver long-term benefits. Each crown reduction job is tailored to the specific species and condition of your tree, ensuring both health and harmony.
We use industry-approved techniques to carefully reduce a tree’s overall height and spread, promoting balanced growth and reducing the risk of windthrow or limb failure. Our certified arborists know exactly how much to remove, and where, so your tree maintains its natural shape while fitting more safely and attractively within its surroundings. Clients throughout Lewes, Brighton, and Haywards Heath trust us to manage large trees that press against roofs, overhang neighbours’ fences, or block precious sunlight.
Our professional services not only involve reducing the crown of your tree but also help to improve its overall health and appearance. By carefully thinning out branches and lifting the canopy, we can reduce the height of large trees without compromising their natural shape. This technique is often used to remove any overgrown or damaged branches that may be causing stress on the tree.
Crown reduction is a necessary maintenance job for many trees, especially those that have not been pruned in some time. It can also be done to prevent future damage by reducing the spread of branches and ensuring they do not interfere with nearby structures or utilities. When you choose our services, you can rest assured that our team will provide transparent pricing, thoughtful advice, and professional results. We take pride in leaving your property clean and tidy after completing our work. Trust Tree Amigos to not only prune your tree but also elevate your peace of mind with our top care and expertise.
Why Homeowners Choose Tree Size Reduction Done Right
- Controls tree growth while preserving natural form: By selectively pruning back the crown and branches, you maintain the beauty of your trees without letting them take over your space.
- Reduces the risk of storm or wind damage: Reducing the size of tree crowns through pruning can significantly decrease the risk of branches snapping or trees uprooting during strong winds, providing a protective barrier for your property and loved ones.
- Improves light and airflow to surrounding plants and areas: Crown pruning your trees enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of your property and allows more sunlight to reach your garden, lawn, and windows. This technique helps other plants thrive by reducing moss or damp buildup, ensuring a healthier environment for all vegetation on your property.
- Protects nearby buildings, fences, and power lines: Crown pruning is essential to prevent potential issues caused by overhanging limbs scraping rooftops or encroaching on utilities. This technique helps reduce the spread of tree branches and involves thinning out the top portion of the tree.
- Promotes healthier upper growth and long-term stability: Proper crown reduction is a crucial technique that helps to lighten the load on branches, promoting balanced regrowth and enhancing overall structural integrity. This involves carefully reducing the height and spread of the tree's canopy by selectively pruning branches.
- Enhances your outdoor space without full tree removal: Crown reduction maintains your tree's benefits, such as shade, privacy, and beauty, while addressing size and safety concerns. This technique involves selectively pruning branches to reduce the tree's overall height and spread.
- When done correctly, crown reductions align with conservation guidelines: We guarantee that all crown reductions comply with British Standards and legal requirements, particularly in conservation areas. This ensures the health and overall well-being of your trees while also maintaining their natural shape and beauty.
