Tree Care - Trimming and Pruning
Your trees will be professionally pruned by a qualified tree climbing aborist. All work will be conducted in accordance with AS 4373-2007 (Australian Standard - Pruning of Amenity Trees)
Dead Wooding
Removal of dead and decaying branches from the tree to minimise the risk of damage to property/injury to people. A common practice on natives.
Crown - Canopy Thinning
Increase light and reduce wind resistance by selective removal of branches throughout the canopy of the tree. This is a common practice which improves the tree's strength against adverse weather conditions as the wind can pass through the tree resulting in less "load" being placed on the tree. Often done on eucalypts and species where the opportunity to reduce branch length is somewhat limited.
Crown Canopy Lifting
Removal of lower branches. Increase clearance for property, people & vehicles. It is wise to think about this when the tree is smaller as remocal of large low branches will leave large wounds that can take years to grow over, if at all, and be pathways for pathogens to affect the trunk of the tree.
Directional Formative Pruning
Removal of appropriate branches to make the tree structurally sound whilst shaping it. Many times this is also dont to accomodate structures such as shed, carports, houses etc ... with Directional Pruning starting at a young age the pruning wounds will be small and easily compartmentalized by the tree.
