Tree Pruning & Maintenance
Tree pruning is a necessity to maintain healthy growth patterns and to clean out dead parts of the tree.
When trees are not maintained, there is an increased risk of trees losing large branches during storms or windy days, particularly eucalyptus trees. There is a reason why eucalypts are referred to as ‘widow makers’ in Australia. Trees can drop or lose branches or limbs even in the still heat of summer, a condition known as sudden limb drop. By following industry standards when pruning or maintaining large trees, experienced arborists actually increasing the health of your trees.

Tree Maintenance & Pruning
When a tree has outgrown its space in the garden, it will need to be reduced in size. It is better to do this sooner, rather than later, as the longer it is left, the harder it is to prune and less likely to recover.Tree Pruning & Tree Maintenance Services
Trees also might need to be pruned and therefore reduced in size if they have dead, diseased, crossing or torn branches. It is usually best to try and keep tree growth under control with regular pruning, but this is not always practical to do so without a professional arborist to assist.
Expert Tree Maintenance
When pruning is performed incorrectly, the long-term stability and health of the tree are in danger and the tree doesn’t look very good either. As a result, your tree can end up with weakened stems, weakly attached sucker sprouts, accumulated dead branches, and included bark. Because each tree species is different, it is important to treat each species correctly.Advantages of Tree Pruning & Maintenance

Palm Tree Cleaning & Removal
Palm Trees are a beautiful addition to any garden and enhance the look and feel of the property. But no tree lasts forever. You may need to get rid of a troublesome palm tree that is threatening nearby structures or growing out of control and spoiling the aesthetics of your garden. Or you think it’s finally time to remove the old tree and make room for some new plants. Palm trees are dangerous to remove because of their unique shape and structure. You should never try to do it yourself as that could mean risking damage to the surrounding garden, cars or house. Always leave palm tree cleaning, pruning and removal to an expert arborist.

With their variety in shape and sizes, you’re sure to find one that can wonderfully accentuate your garden. Apart from their aesthetic value, these plants are low in habitual maintenance. Palms don’t require regular watering and don’t produce leaves you need to rake often. They are also practically storm-proof. They have a strong root system that keeps them in place during storms. Even with strong winds blowing against them, these trees just bend and sway. With one or many planted in your garden, you can create your very own oasis.

So if your trees are in good health and just need a bit of TLC, it’s a great idea to keep them.

Canopy Thinning & Canopy Lifting
Whether it’s keeping a large-growing species in scale or giving a shaggy tree a trim, smart Canopy Lifting or Canopy Thinning can improve a tree’s appearance and health. Canopy Lifting and Thinning alleviates potentially hazardous situations. Trimming branches that threaten power lines avoids serious problems should always be left to experienced and qualified arborists. Large dead or dangling branches should be removed, as well as branches that could interfere with vehicles or lawn mowers. Branches that contact the house on windy days should be cut before they cause damage.
Pruning is an important task and includes: weight-reducing heavy over-extended lateral branches, removal of deadwood, branch stubs, cracked or crossing branches or canopy reduction. Often, when there is either a problem with access or with visibility under the tree canopy itself, the crown of the tree will need to be raised or thinned. Raising a canopy or tree crown is the most common form of tree pruning. When canopy lifting is done it is important to provide specifics to the arborist as to what clearance, or height to remove to. Canopy raising should also be done slowly as the tree grows, starting when the tree is young, until it reaches maturity.
When more light or air is required through the canopy of a tree, qualified arborists will carry out Crown Thinning or Canopy Thinning. The density of the canopy is reduced and this can also reduce the risk of damage caused from crown resistance to high winds. Crown thinning is a popular tree pruning technique used to leave you with an open, well balanced tree canopy. All damaged, dead, crossing and weak branches are removed, followed by any smaller live branches as necessary. This will help reduce wind loading on the tree and increase natural light below the tree. Canopy Thinning is very often required on Conifers.
When maintaining your tree assets, and protecting your property and that of your neighbour, canopy lifting and thinning are the better options. Structured pruning and thinning by a qualified arborist will still achieve the result of reducing height or reach, while at the same time improving the tree’s appearance, promote healthy plant growth and protect people and property. Other benefits include removing dead or diseased wood and promoting new growth and better air circulation that reduces the wind loading on branches during storms. When working with nature, sometimes things can go wrong despite the best preparation. So, it is important that you only engage a qualified arborist with full insurance coverage that protects you and your property.
