Tree Pruning Services
Our Arborists LOVE trimming your trees to look their very best and maintaining safety from any damaged branches with our tree pruning services.
Why Professional Tree Pruning Matters
Regular tree pruning plays a vital role in maintaining the health and safety of trees. This is even more important in residential areas surrounded by natural bushland, such as the mountainous foothills near the Dandenong Ranges. Unlike trees in the wild, urban and suburban trees require regular maintenance to prevent limb failure, root instability, or decline caused by environmental stressors.
If your property is nestled among established trees, it’s your responsibility to ensure they are maintained appropriately. Arboricultural intervention through our professional tree pruning services can reduce risks and prolong the lifespan of your trees.
Before deciding to remove a tree, our team of arborists can determine whether careful and strategic tree pruning could provide the same benefits, such as improved safety or appearance, without removing the tree entirely.
We’re fully qualified arborists and all our pruning work is performed to the Australian Standard AS 4373-2007 Pruning of Amenity Trees. Pruning is typically limited to a maximum of 30% of the tree’s canopy to maintain structural integrity and promote healthy growth.
Types of Tree Pruning Services
Different trees have different needs. This can involve managing risk with older trees, which might be dropping branches, improving structure, or enhancing visual appeal. Our tree pruning services cover a range of methods tailored to each situation, ensuring your trees stay healthy, safe, and well-shaped.
Note: The crown of a tree refers to the entire upper part of the tree, including the branches, leaves, and stems, that extends outward from the main trunk.
The canopy (or tree canopy) refers specifically to the outer layer of a tree’s foliage formed by its uppermost branches and leaves, often where most light is captured.
Our typical tree prunining services include:
Deadwood Removal
Deadwood has many great benefits for the local ecology, but can negatively impact the tree and is best kept on trees in ‘low target rich’ environments where it’s safe to leave within the tree.
We remove deadwood in the higher target environment areas mostly for safety concerns and prevention of property damage, and so the tree can focus valuable energy resources on sustaining live growth rather than the shedding process of these branches. A qualified arborists can assist by doing this under full control, rather than waiting for the debris to fall at its own accord.
Dead branches are also rotting branches, housing many fungal, bacterial or pest infestations spreading further into tree. Removing the dead branches can also assist in maintaining the trees true form, showcasing the aesthetics of the tree. Deadwood greater than 30mm diameter should be removed to maintain safety regulations at schools and governing bodies.
Crown Thinning
The shape and size of the tree stays the same; we focus on pruning the internal secondary branches, epicormic growth and branches growing in clashing directions. Thinning allows more light to pass through to the house and garden, but also more wind through the canopy to prevent limb failures in the crown, or even the uprooting of the tree altogether.
Crown Cleaning
A combination of Deadwood Removal and Crown Thinning. But also removal of any crossing branches, rotten or damaged branches, junk in the tree, and excessive epicormic growth.
A good result overall for the health of the tree. And a great way to see instant results on your pruning work.
Crown Reduction
Reducing the size of the crown, also often worked out as a percentage of the crown to be removed. To maintain and limit the growth of canopy for the appropriate space in your property, reductions can also be effective to allow more light to come through the property.
Weight reduction work is a common practice of ours for prevention of limb failures.
