Tree Pollarding
Project Overview
Top Garden Services was commissioned to pollard several mature trees at a residential property in Great Barton, Suffolk. The trees had outgrown their space, leading to reduced natural light and concerns over long-term maintenance.
Pollarding was chosen as the most suitable method to reduce canopy size while retaining tree structure and promoting healthy regrowth.
Site Conditions
- Trees located close to property boundaries
- Overshadowing of garden and neighbouring areas
- Need for future crown management
- Consideration given to local wildlife and garden features
Our Approach
Our skilled team carried out the pollarding using climbing and rigging techniques in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations.
Key steps included:
- Pruning each tree to encourage strong future growth
- Using controlled lowering to avoid damage to property
- Ensuring minimal disruption to the garden
- Clearing and recycling all green waste


The Result
- Canopies reduced and reshaped for balance
- Trees made safer and easier to manage
- Improved light access to the garden
- Site left clean and tidy
- Set up for simple future maintenance cycles
