We recently completed our second cycle of pollarding mature London plane trees for Oxfordshire County Council. This essential work helps ensure the longevity and safety of these stunning trees, which overhang both lanes and surrounding houses in two village locations.
The Importance of Pollarding
Pollarding is a vital tree management technique that:
- Reduces weight load to prevent structural failure
- Encourages healthy regrowth and extends tree lifespan
- Maintains safe clearances over roads and residential areas
- Minimises risk of large limb failure in high-traffic locations
Precision Planning & Teamwork
Given the scale of this project, we deployed four dedicated teams, working over the course of a full week to complete the pollarding efficiently and safely. Coordination was key, ensuring minimal disruption to both residents and road users.
Working with the Community
Pollarding trees in village settings requires close collaboration with both the council and local residents. We engaged with the community throughout the process, ensuring they understood the benefits of the work and minimising any inconvenience.
