Sydney Tree Services follows a methodical approach to ensure safe, effective, and compliant tree lopping:
We begin with a thorough site inspection to assess the tree's species, condition, surrounding environment, access points, and client objectives. This allows us to provide accurate advice and a detailed quote for tree lopping.
If council approval is needed for your tree lopping project, we assist with the application process, providing the necessary documentation including arborist reports and plans to support your application.
We develop a comprehensive tree lopping plan considering safety requirements, equipment needs, branch drop zones, and the most appropriate technique for your specific tree to achieve the desired outcome while maintaining tree health.
Our qualified arborists carefully execute the tree lopping plan using modern techniques and specialized equipment. We employ controlled cutting and lowering methods to protect surrounding property and vegetation.
After tree lopping is complete, we thoroughly clean the site, removing all branches and debris or processing them into mulch if desired. We ensure your property is left neat and tidy after our tree lopping service.
We conduct a final inspection of the lopped tree and provide expert advice on ongoing care to maintain tree health and manage future growth patterns following the lopping procedure.
