The Handy Log Man Ltd applies this method thoughtfully to trees in Northampton, balancing growth with safety. This practice can prevent trees from becoming too large for their location, reducing risks from falling branches and improving light penetration for surrounding plants. For many, pollarding is a way to preserve mature trees in urban and rural settings, maintaining their presence while managing their impact on the environment.
