Pollarding vs Coppicing

Pollarding and coppicing each achieve a different goal but utilise similar methods. Both involve tree pruning which results in more robust tree growth.

Coppicing is a traditional woodland management method used to prune young trees down to the ground down into a small living stump that re-grows and develops into new stems. Coppicing can increase the lifespan of a tree for a long time. This means that a tree can carry on in its important role as a habitat for the wildlife that depend on it for survival.

Pollarding is a procedure undertaken for safety reasons to manage tree heights and prevent them from touching electrical wires for example. Tree pollarding focuses on the upper branches of a tree and these are cut at the head which encourages a denser head of foliage to grow.

We use high-grade industry standard tools and techniques to achieve the best results possible while minimising disruption and damage to the surrounding environment.
