Can I trim branches from a neighbour’s tree?

Due to tree protection laws in Barden Ridge, you may be required to obtain council permission to trim overhanging branches from a neighbour's tree. While their consent isn't required, notifying them is a courteous practice.

When is tree pruning necessary?

If you see compromised tree health or dead, overgrown branches, it's time to consider pruning. These problems can limit growth and create future health issues, and falling branches can be dangerous. Pruning should be done at least twice a year, or more often depending on the species and growth rate.

Hedge Pruning FAQs

Can I prune my hedge at any time of year?

To ensure your overgrown hedge regrows strongly, prune it in late winter or early spring when the plant is in its dormant phase, which supports healthy new growth.
What are the benefits of pruning my hedge?

By pruning hedges, you eliminate dead or sick branches, which boosts healthy growth, results in thicker foliage, and maintains the desired shape and size. This practice also improves air circulation and sunlight access, which are important for hedge health.
What are the signs that my hedge needs pruning?

A hedge in need of pruning often appears disordered, loses its shape, encroaches on paths or nearby areas, exhibits sparse growth, grows excessively tall, has dead branches, and suffers from poor flowering or fruit production.

How often should I prune my hedges?

Pruning hedges once or twice a year is typically sufficient, depending on their type and growth rate. Customise your pruning schedule according to the specific needs of your hedge species to make sure they stay healthy and appealing.
Can hedge trimming improve the lifespan of my hedges?

Yes, correct trimming practices are key to extending hedge longevity by encouraging strong growth and preventing disease and pest problems. Hedges that receive regular care are better able to withstand environmental stresses.
