Tree Pruning Barden Ridge

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.

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.

Trust Bob & Ben The Tree Men for professional tree pruning. Our arborists will evaluate your tree, obtain council approval, and handle all pruning tasks, such as removing dead branches and excess vegetation. We’ll also ensure the area is cleaned and all debris is taken away.

In Barden Ridge, tree pruning must be conducted according to Australian Standard AS 4373-2007, which promotes safe techniques to avoid branch failure, infections, and premature death of trees.

The standard specifies that the person conducting tree pruning must have an AQF Level 3 certification in arboriculture. Council approval is required for heritage-listed trees, native vegetation associated with threatened species, and indigenous objects of significance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
