Pollarding

Pollarding is a technique whereby a tree is trimmed and cut back well below its natural size, in order to promote healthy growth and manageability.

​

It is a very common practice and many trees in the Norwich and Norfolk area need to be regularly maintained. Trees are pollarded to stop them growing too far outside their natural boundary , for instance if near a property or public footpath.

​

Tree pollarding can be for aesthetic reasons, to keep parks and footpaths tidy, but can also be used as a renewable source of wood. AM Ground Maintenance will advise as to when and how often to do this work.
