Wigan Tree Pruning

We’re all about giving your trees the care they need to look amazing and stay healthy. We know trees are a big part of what makes your yard special, and pruning is like giving them a boost to shine even brighter. Whether you have a tiny shrub or a massive oak, our team has the skills, tools, and passion to handle any job. Today, we’re excited to share the different types of tree pruning we offer in Wigan, why they matter, and our clear, affordable pricing based on tree size. Let’s get started and help your trees thrive in our lovely Wigan community!

Let’s kick things off with cleaning pruning. This is one of the most common types of pruning, and it’s all about keeping your trees healthy by removing dead, damaged, or sick branches. Think of it like tidying up your tree’s messy bits so it can focus on growing strong. Cleaning pruning stops diseases from spreading and keeps weak branches from falling, especially during Wigan’s windy and rainy days. It’s perfect for trees like the sycamores, ashes, or maples we see around town. Our team carefully checks every tree to spot problem branches and cuts them away with precision, leaving your tree looking neat and ready to flourish.

Next up is thinning pruning, which is great for trees that are a bit too crowded. This type involves selectively cutting out some branches to let more sunlight and air flow through the tree’s canopy. Why does this matter? More light and air mean your tree can grow healthier and stronger. For fruit trees, like the apple or pear trees in many Wigan gardens, thinning can lead to bigger, tastier fruit because the sun reaches more of the branches. It also lightens the load on heavy branches, reducing the chance of them snapping in a storm. We make sure to keep the tree’s natural shape while thinning, so it looks balanced and beautiful.

Another favorite is shaping pruning. This is where we get creative and trim your tree to give it a polished, attractive look. If your tree is growing unevenly or has branches sticking out in odd directions, shaping can fix that. It’s like giving your tree a stylish haircut! This type of pruning is awesome for boosting your yard’s curb appeal, making your home look welcoming and tidy. We often use shaping for ornamental trees, hedges, or even young trees you want to guide into a nice form. Our team works carefully to sculpt the tree without stressing it, so it stays healthy while turning heads in your neighborhood.

Then there’s raising pruning, which is all about clearing space under the tree. This involves cutting off lower branches to lift the tree’s canopy, making room for walkways, driveways, or even a clear view from your windows. It’s a practical choice for trees along Wigan streets or near busy spots, as it keeps branches from hitting people, cars, or lawnmowers. Raising also improves safety by removing low branches that could break or cause accidents. We trim just enough to give you the clearance you need while keeping the tree’s structure strong and balanced.

For larger trees, we offer reduction pruning. This type focuses on shortening the tree’s height or width to make it safer and easier to manage. It’s ideal for trees that are getting too tall, crowding power lines, or hanging over your roof. In Wigan, where storms can hit hard, reduction pruning helps prevent branches from causing damage. We carefully reduce the tree’s size without harming its health, using special cuts to keep it looking natural. This type of pruning is a bit more complex, but our team has the expertise to do it right, ensuring your tree stays healthy and fits perfectly in your yard.

Now, let’s talk about pricing: At Wigan Tree Pruning, we believe in being upfront and fair. That’s why we offer free assessments to visit your property, check your trees, and give you an exact quote tailored to your needs. Our prices depend on the tree’s size and the type of pruning, as taller trees or trickier jobs (like those near houses or power lines) take more time and care. Here’s our pricing breakdown based on tree height:

Up to 5 metres: £50 – £150. These are smaller trees, like young fruit trees or shrubs, that might need light cleaning, shaping, or thinning.

5 – 10 metres: £75 – £200. Medium-sized trees, like garden oaks or birches, may need thinning, raising, or cleaning to stay safe and healthy.

10 – 15 metres: £100 – £300. Taller trees, common in Wigan parks or bigger yards, might require reduction or heavy cleaning, especially after storms.

15 – 20 metres: £150 – £400. Large trees, like mature sycamores, often need careful work, such as thinning or raising near homes.

20 – 25 metres: £200 – £500. Very tall trees demand specialized gear for tasks like reduction to prevent hazards.

Over 25 metres: £250 – £700. Giant trees, like those in big estates or public spaces, need extensive pruning, often involving ropes and extra safety measures.

Why the price range? Every tree is unique. A quick cleaning on a small tree is simpler than a full reduction on a tall one near a building. We consider the pruning type, tree condition, location, and any extra challenges (like tight spaces) to give you a fair price. Our team uses high-quality tools, like sharp pruners and saws, and follows strict safety rules to protect your property and our crew. We also clean up all the branches, leaves, and debris when we’re done, so your yard looks spotless.

Pruning isn’t just about cutting branches—it’s about timing, too. The best time to prune depends on the tree and what you want to achieve. Winter is great for most trees because they’re dormant, and cuts heal well before spring growth. Spring or summer works for shaping or light trimming, especially for flowering trees after they bloom. After Wigan’s stormy weather, we often prune to remove broken branches right away. We’ll guide you on the perfect timing for your trees to keep them thriving and avoid stress, like pruning during heavy sap flow.
