Not at all. You just got used to the size . It will grow back quickly. Enjoy the rest of the garden as it relishes the increased sunshine 🌞

It’ll bounce back and look a better for it. But yes, a bit of a hack job.

They didn’t massacre it lmfao.
Give it 12 months and it will be even better than before. Instead of concentrating on going up it will go bushier

They could’ve done a better job, but it will shoot back just fine.

According to Australian Standards Pruning of Amenity trees they’re not supposed to remove more than 30% of the canopy

Yes and no, it will bounce back with new shoots and likely be fine but they should NOT have reduced the canopy that much at once, the tree will now be open to disease and rot especially with so many large gaping wounds, I suggest not using this company again and hiring a certified arborist next time you require tree work.

Dramatic much? Your “tree” is just a regrowth from a mature tree been cut down. Regrowth can be very dangerous if growing too tall as they have the same structural integrity as an untouched tree. ( regrowth attaches to the outside of the trunk.) Cuts are very neat and good height for shade yet preventing a regrowth to drop and damage or injure.

Always looks brutal when first done but it will spring back better than before.

I would be pissed off but it’ll be fine eventually

Did you get a qualified arborist? They don’t charge much different and it means the life of your tree. Looks brutal not very organic but the cut angles are right for rain runoff and the should shoot upwards hopefully. In Australia tree loppers charge $100 to $150 per hour while an arborist in Google fees are $70 to $150 per hour.
At first I thought you meant your dog.
“Tree trimming is the sustainable way of cutting tree portions to improve the overall aesthetic, health, and safety of the surroundings of the tree. On the other hand, tree lopping and tree topping are unhealthy and destructive trimming methods that should be avoided.” Make sure your cutter knows the difference.

This is poor pruning technique. I’m not saying that it will definitely cause issues down the line but it seems that it was pruned from the ground using a pole saw, so the pruning cuts do not confirm to AS 4373—2007 pruning standards. I’d get a qualified arborist to remedy that.
