Formative pruning

This is conducted on young trees and includes the removal of weak or problem branch attachment unions. This is a proactive pruning exercise that helps to eliminate common weaknesses in mature trees.

Crown cleaning

The removal of dead, damaged or crossing branches, unwanted epicormic growth and climbing plants contained within the crown and trunk of a tree.

Crown lifting

Crown lifting is the removal of lower limbs to a specified height above ground level. This helps provide clearance to footpaths, roads, driveways etc. High crown lifting, in some instances, can help with sunlight issues.

Crown thinning

This practice reduces the density of a tree, allowing sunlight to penetrate through the crown and subsequently assisting with shading issues. It can also visually reduce the size of a dominant tree and its wind sail.

Crown reduction

Reducing the height or crown spread of a tree can facilitate further light into a particularly shaded area, allowing the sunlight to come in over the tree. Reducing the height also reduces the likelihood of wind throw in some instances, and can help maintain a large specimen tree in a confined space.

Dead or dangerous tree felling

Dead or dangerous trees can be difficult to extract due to the health and safety implications. Our staff are trained and experienced in this type of tree removal and can work safely within confined spaces.

Sectional dismantling of trees in confined spaces

In the urban area, it is common to find large mature trees growing in confined spaces. Removing these heavy structures can be very difficult. With numerous target zones and risk factors, our staff specialise in full extraction with limited disturbance.

Stump grinding

Stump grinding removes the bole of the stump to approximately 300mm below ground level. Root extraction is also available, but can dig up a large proportion of land in doing so. The removal of the root bole will stop all root growth and allow you to re-plant or surface the affected area.

Cable bracing

This is an artificial support system assembled within the crown of a tree. It helps reduce the pressure within highlighted branch unions and it can extend the safe useful life expectancy of a tree.

Tree and shrub planting

Experienced planting procedures will increase the success rate of newly planted trees and shrubs. We supply a large range of sizes, from whips to heavy standards.

Tree root aeration

This can be conducted on mature trees or whole bedding areas and is done to aerate heavily compacted soils. This system is based on breaking up the compacted soil platelets and introducing nitrogen back into the affected area. This all helps to get the water moving again to allow the plants to feed.

Hedge maintenance

We offer an annual/biannual trimming service to help ensure that hedges are contained within their designated growing area. When ‘drastic’ action is required we can reduce height and sidewall extension, and offer long term strategies specific to each species.

Specialised fruit tree and shrub pruning

Specialised pruning helps maintain the aesthetic values of fruit trees and shrubs, whilst heightening the fruit and flower productivity.
