Tree Pruning in Northampton: The Right Cuts at the Right Time
Northampton Tree Surgeons arranges tree pruning across Northampton and the surrounding towns and villages, carried out by NPTC-qualified, fully insured tree surgery teams.
Pruning keeps a tree healthy, safe and good-looking. It can mean removing dead or damaged wood, shaping a young tree, tidying an overgrown ornamental or helping a fruit tree crop better.
Good pruning takes knowledge of the species and the season. Some trees bleed if cut at the wrong time of year, and a few, such as cherry and plum, are best pruned in summer to reduce the risk of disease. We plan the work for the tree, not the calendar. We prune everything from fruit trees in village gardens to the ornamental cherries and maples that line many of the town's newer estates.
Pruning That Helps the Tree
We use clean, sharp tools and make cuts at the right point on the branch. Weak or crossing branches are removed before they cause damage, and the tree is left with a balanced shape and a healthy structure.
We prune everything from small garden trees to large mature specimens, and from time to time we recommend leaving a tree alone if pruning is not needed.

Tree Pruning: Common Questions
What is the best time of year to prune?
It depends on the tree. Many can be pruned in autumn and winter when dormant, while others, such as cherries and plums, are better in summer. We advise on the right time for yours.
Can you prune a tree with a TPO?
Yes, but you need consent from the council first for any work on a protected tree. We help with the application.
Will pruning kill my tree?
Not if it is done properly. Poor pruning, such as removing too much at once, can cause harm, which is why we keep the work modest.
