Most trees are best pruned during late winter or early spring before new growth begins. However, many native Australian trees can be pruned year-round. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Read our complete seasonal pruning guide for more details.

Minor pruning typically doesn't require approval. However, removing more than 10% of the canopy or pruning protected trees may need council permission. We can advise on your specific situation and council requirements. See our tree regulations guide for more information.

We provide crown reduction, crown thinning, deadwood removal, formative pruning, canopy lifting, and weight reduction pruning. All work is performed to Australian Standards (AS 4373) by AQF Level 5 qualified arborists.

Signs your tree needs pruning include dead or dying branches, branches rubbing together, limbs overhanging structures, reduced light to your garden, or an unbalanced canopy. Our arborists provide free assessments. Learn about warning signs of dangerous trees.

Most trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, though fast-growing species may need more frequent attention. Young trees benefit from formative pruning every 2-3 years. Our arborists can recommend a maintenance schedule.

When performed correctly by qualified arborists, pruning improves tree health. We follow Australian Standards (AS 4373) and make proper cuts that promote healthy regrowth without causing decay.
