Pollarding

Tree Pollarding Leicestershire-

Traditional Pollarded tree

A traditional Pollarded tree is pruned in a manner so that the regrowth cannot be reached by livestock to eat the new growth.  This is a problem often encountered when coppicing trees.  If using the foliage for livestock then the branches could be cut and dropped to allow access by livestock.

 

 

 

High Pollarding

A pruning regime often used for Council Trees alongside roads.  The reason is to create a controlled size canopy at or above the first floor windows without impacting on light to the ground.

 

 

 

 

Canopy Pollarding

Creation of multiple Pollard heads in a flat plane to develop a thick canopy which gives good screening from the sun.  Often used in France in market squares to keep the heat down during the summer.

 

Top Pollarding

This is a hybrid type operation where the lower branches are retained for screening whereas the top of the tree is pollarded.  Long term the tree would be developed into a full pollard but this operation offers an interim alternative.

 

Single Head Pollards

Pollarding to a single Pollard head, which reduces the amount of regeneration.

 

Multi-head Pollards

A pollard with a multiple heads, which leads to more points for the tree to reshoot from.

 

Multi-head Pollards

Re-pollarding

The tree surgery operation of pruning back regeneration following a previous pollarding operation.

All the newer growth will be removed unless otherwise stated.

Feedbacks

“We’re very pleased with the work done over 22nd and 23rd October.

The trees have been trimmed neatly and the team checked with us as work was underway to ensure all was carried out as requested.

The property was left tidy as the clearing up was good.

The next day Boz came to grind the conifer stumps down.  He did a great job too and as the big conifers had been so near to the wall took good care to grind them to 18” below without damaging the wall.  The other smaller conifers were ground down including the one that had been left about 10” high or so, as there could have been damage to a chain saw had one of the team tried to go lower on it the previous day.

Thanks once again for an effective job.

Best wishes”

“Great price

This is the 2nd time we’ve used Beddow Tree Limited to cut back out trees, as before the whole process from coming out to look at trees and quote to the guys doing the works was friendly and professional,. They were knowledgeable and knew what they were doing and all debris was taken away and area left tidy. Very happy customers”.

Beddowes removed two trees from our garden and carefully pruned three others in less than a day. They were efficient, very tidy and extremely well priced. We would definitely recommend them.
