Reasons for Coppicing and Pollarding
Coppicing & pollarding are two different methods of tree pruning that allows wood to be continually harvested from the same trees whilst maintaining their health and vitality and keeping them alive for centuries. This is so that the trees are able to produce a sustainable supply of timber for many generations and at the same time cultivate a wonderful habitat and natural state for wildlife and native plants.
The best trees for either coppicing or pollarding are deciduous trees such as oak, hazel, ash, chestnut, and willow, and not trees that “bleed” too much like maple. The concept is cutting a deciduous tree when it is in a dormant state, which causes it to send up fresh shoots in the spring. These are then harvested again when they reach the desired size which can be anywhere from four to twenty-five years.
Pollarding vs Coppicing
When it comes to pollarding vs coppicing, the techniques are similar in many ways but they each achieve slightly different goals, however both procedures involve tree pruning which results in more growth over time and shapes the tree.
Coppicing is very traditional method of woodland management where young trees are trimmed down close to the ground down to a small living stump and then allowed to regrow and develop into dense thickets of new stems. This process of coppicing can increase the lifespan of a tree for hundreds of years, and this means that it can continue providing a valuable habitat for wildlife.
Alternatively, pollarding is a method that is concentrated on the upper branches of a tree that are cut at the head in an attempt to encourage a thicker, denser head of foliage to grow. Pollarding is used to manage tree heights to keep them safe and prevent them from interfering with electrical wires.

"Super impressed with this team. We had our oak tree pollarded and the pear tree pruned with minimum disturbance.They were incredibly efficient, got all the tedious work applying for council approval done for us beforehand as the oak tree has a TPO on it and we're very happy with the result. The lads are fantastic & I highly recommend them."
