EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Luke ReevesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from the East Hants Arb team. Thank youPosted on Ben WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic job clearing trees in our gardenPosted on Isabel MadelungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We needed to trim back our oak tree and also cut out all the dead branches. I got 4 quotes and not only was Joe the most competitive, but he was also the quickest in responding to my queries and answering all my questions. Joe came across as competent, professional and experienced, and very customer oriented. His team that did the job were friendly and efficient and careful in ensuring that branches did not fall into the neighbour’s garden. They took all branches away with them as agreed, and tidied up the garden afterwards. Even my neighbour gave positive feedback saying they did a “very neat and careful job”. And more importantly, the shape of the trimmed back oak tree is excellent and I am a happy customer.Posted on Graham WilloughbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a problem with a very large red oak tree with a TPO, some evidence of disease and over hanging my neighbour's property.After acquiring planning permission to pollard the tree I obtained three quotes for the work.Joe's was the most competitive and he the most reactive. He used an impressive machine that clasped a limb and out popped a chain saw severing the branch. With a reach of 27 metres the machine reduced the red oak to the agreed size, transported the bulk timber off sited. tidied the garden. all in one day and with nothing dropping in my neighbour's garden. Joe and his teamed did an amazingly good job. He is very customer focused and quietly efficient. I thoroughly recommend him to you for your tree surgeon work. Graham WilloughbyPosted on Elane VassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just had Joe and the team back for the 3rd phase of the maintenance programme, and it was all completed to a very high standard, including a very comprehensive clean up as well. We'd highly recommend EH Arborists to anyone who may need tree work carried out in their own property.

Very fair price as well.Posted on Jack HawkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really easy to deal with! We had an unruly willow tree which was prone to wasps in the Summer. East Hants Arborists ltd came out and tamed it back whilst keeping a natural shape as requested. I'll book them in for the apple tree soon. Thanks gents.Posted on karen dixonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

What Is a Crown Reduction?
A tree crown reduction is a professional tree surgery technique that involves selectively removing branches from the outer edges of the tree’s crown to reduce the tree’s size and spread. This carefully executed process reduces mechanical stress and wind resistance on the tree, improving its structural integrity while maintaining the tree’s natural shape and overall health. Our expert team of tree surgeons assesses each tree to ensure the crown reduction promotes healthy growth and preserves the tree’s leaf-bearing structure without causing unnecessary damage.
Benefits of Crown Reductions
Improved Tree Health
Overgrown trees with excessive or crossing branches can cause strain and increase the risk of diseased branches. By removing dead or diseased branches and reducing the crown, we reduce mechanical stress and improve air circulation, promoting the tree's overall health and vitality.

Enhanced Safety
Large, heavy branches pose safety concerns, especially near power lines, buildings, or confined spaces. Crown reduction helps prevent branches breaking or falling branches during severe weather conditions, reducing risks to property and people.

Aesthetic Appeal
A well-executed crown reduction restores balance and symmetry to the tree crowns, enhancing the beauty of your garden and surrounding area. It ensures your trees maintain their natural shape and complement the landscape without becoming overbearing.

Better Light and Airflow
Reducing the density and size of the tree's canopy allows more sunlight penetration and better air circulation, benefiting not only the tree's growth but also the plants beneath it. Improved light penetration helps maintain the overall health of your garden.
