PRUNING AND CONSIDERATIONS

How We Prune and Considerations Taken

Before any pruning works are carried out, we first need to assess the tree to make an accurate decision on what pruning jobs are suitable. We take a range of factors into consideration such as age, size, species, shape, character and condition before making any cuts.

In areas where there is a risk of harm to the public, we will use safety signs stating “Tree Cutting in Progress” and cordon off the vicinity with hazard tape. To prevent damage to property, we will use lowering ropes on large branches and limbs, lowering them directly from the crown.

The ABC cut method will be applied when making cuts to a tree preventing tearing on branches and limbs, which will also reduce the risk of infection and diseases.

Our Crew always follows the guidelines in the Australian standards and strictly avoid flush cuts. Each cut will be carried out to the branch collar to ensure a healthy, well-balanced and safe tree.
