A reduction of the crown involves reducing the canopy of the tree by a specific amount i.e 30%. In reducing a tree the end result should be an asymmetrically balanced canopy. This is both aesthetically pleasing and for most trees is in keeping with the tree’s natural shape. Other benefits of a reduction are to gain more light from over the top, around the sides and through the tree in the form of dappled light. It also reduces the threat of windsail, which can be of concern with tall or large trees. The benefits to the tree from a reduction are that it re-invigorates the tree and encourages it to send out epicormic (new) shoots which can be especially important if there is dieback within the crown.

Felling can be done in two ways – straight felling or via a section fell. A straight fell will only be carried out if the surrounding space allows. A section fell involves removing the branches one at a time and lowering them to the ground before removing the trunk (also in sections if necessary). This is a useful method of felling in tight and confined spaces.
