What is pollarding?
What is pollarding trees? It is one of the oldest forms of tree surgery being practised today, and one that we specialise in. It is a method of pruning that keeps a tree or shrub smaller than they would grow naturally. Pollarding can normally be carried out once the tree or shrub reaches a certain height, and is then performed on an annual basis to restrict its growth to that size.
There are a number of reasons to perform pollarding on a tree, such as:
- A tree or shrub is outgrowing its allotted space
- You want to reduce the amount of shade cast by a tree
- It is posing a threat to power lines, or obstructing streetlights
For these reasons, pollarding is one of the most in-demand forms of tree surgery and is requested by domestic and commercial property owners.
Why you should call in the professionals
One of the questions that we are often asked is, can pollarding kill a tree? When carried out by a professional, that is nigh on impossible. Our tree surgeons know when to perform pollarding on a particular tree, and often recommend that it be performed in late winter or early spring.
Pollarding can require working at height and is often performed using large power tools. For that reason, we always recommend that it is carried out by a professional tree surgeon with plenty of experience to draw upon. Not only will be they be able to work safely, but they will be able to assess the health of your tree and tailor their approach accordingly.

The tree surgeons have just left and we are thrilled with the results. They were both very professional and respectful and we appreciated their caution at this time. We would certainly recommend Elite to others and were pleased that we found you on Which Trusted Traders.
Peter Rodwell - Customer
Elite carried out both fencing and tree work for us. The fencing work consisted of approximately 50 metres of new fencing and the removal of a 15m high Holly tree along with stump grinding ready for fresh planting during the spring. Really happy with the final result the team were friendly and made sure everything was left tidy afterwards. Work was competitively priced and clearly a professional business.

I would like to commend the team that did the work last Tuesday in absolutely ghastly weather, they were so diligent and carried out all the work efficiently and expertly. My wife has written a glowing reference on the local Suffolk business social media. We will definitely use Elite Trees again next time we need some tree work carried out.
