Crown Thinning & Reduction Selective branch removal to reduce canopy weight and wind resistance while maintaining the tree’s natural shape. This is especially important for large eucalypts common in Wollongong, which are prone to storm stress.

Deadwooding & Safety Pruning Removal of dead or decaying branches that could fall unexpectedly. This improves tree health while eliminating risks near homes, driveways, and public areas.

Formative & Structural Pruning Early pruning of young trees to encourage strong growth patterns, and corrective pruning for mature trees to address existing defects. This ensures long-term safety and stability.

Palm & Fruit Tree Pruning Safe frond removal and seed pod trimming for palms, plus tailored pruning for fruit trees to increase productivity and maintain manageable size.

Hedge Trimming & Shaping Professional shaping and trimming services that keep hedges, screens, and ornamental trees neat and visually appealing.

All work is performed in line with safety standards, ensuring proper techniques are used for tree health and safety.

• Winter  (June–August): Ideal for deciduous trees and major structural work. 
• Spring  (September–November): Best for natives and flowering species after blooming.
• After storms:  Emergency pruning to remove storm-damaged or hazardous branches.
• Avoid extreme heat/drought  : To reduce stress on trees and minimise disease risk.

Our arborists tailor pruning schedules to Wollongong’s climate and local tree species, ensuring the best outcomes year-round.
