TREE PRUNING SUNSHINE COAST
Pruning involves selectively cutting back the canopy of the tree or palm and usually requires equipment to assist with gaining access to branches, fronds, or fruit at quite a height.
Qualified arborists should be engaged for trees and palms that cannot be pruned from ground level, as this is dangerous work. Not only is it dangerous, but the experience is also required to recognize unhealthy growth patterns where the trunk is in danger of splitting and identify disease and infestations. Being able to recognize the warning signs and hazards of tree development and guide the growth to ensure a healthy, well-balanced tree are specialized skills we, as experienced arborists, provide.
We have all the safety gear and mechanical devices necessary to ensure any pruning from high up is undertaken in a way that protects the arborists at work and all things below. All pruning work is carried out with Australian Standard AS 4373-2007.
Palm pruning is recommended regularly to remove heavy dead (and often precariously hanging) fronds and large clusters of fruit, which, if left to fall, make an awful mess and have a pungent odor. A nicely pruned palm is an attractive palm. Pruning of trees may be required for a variety of reasons, – clearance for power lines, removal of dangerous deadwood, disinfection, canopy reduction, and selective pruning for practical reasons, which includes reducing the height of the tree or lifting the crown by clearing lower branches. Trees should be pruned in a way that leaves them balanced, aesthetically pleasing, and in good health. Our experienced arborists will discuss options and offer advice regarding your pruning needs, taking into careful consideration your local council’s tree preservation order.
