Read the case studyCrown work on a mature oak above a working tea rooms.
A tall mature oak standing right over the roof of a small seaside tea rooms. The owners wanted weight off the limbs above the building without losing the tree's shape. Reduced and cleaned out, kept the canopy intact, no disruption to trade.
A tall mature oak right over the pitched roof of a small tea rooms. The owners weren’t looking to lose the tree, they were looking to lose the worry of a heavy limb in a winter gale.
We reduced the lateral limbs reaching over the roof, took the weight back to good growth points, and thinned the crown enough to put some light back onto the gravel below. The shape held. From the road it still reads as a proper oak, not a topped one.
Worked around opening hours so the tea rooms didn’t close.
