Tree Pruning Engadine

In Engadine, any tree of a certain size is protected, so council permission is required to trim overhanging branches from a neighbour’s tree. While it is not mandatory, it’s courteous to inform your neighbour before doing the work.

Noticing compromised tree health or dead and overgrown branches indicates that it’s time for pruning. Such issues can stunt growth and cause future health problems, with falling branches potentially damaging people or property. We advise pruning trees at least two times a year, or more frequently depending on the tree species and growth rate.

Pruning trees safely requires expertise, so it’s best to have Bob & Ben The Tree Men handle it. Our qualified arborists will assess your tree, obtain council approval, and perform the pruning, including the removal of dead and overgrown branches. We’ll clean up the area and remove all trimmings afterward.

According to Sutherland Shire Council regulations, tree pruning must adhere to Australian Standard AS 4373-2007 for Pruning of Amenity Trees, ensuring safety and preventing branch failure, pathogen infection, and premature tree death.

The standard requires that the individual performing tree pruning hold at least an AQF Level 3 qualification in arboriculture. Council approval is also needed for heritage trees, native vegetation related to threatened species, or indigenous objects of Aboriginal significance.

Tree pruning prices vary based on tree height, condition, and accessibility. Contact Bob & Ben The Tree Men for a complimentary, obligation-free quote to get an accurate assessment.

The best times to prune an overgrown hedge are late winter and early spring, when the plant is dormant, allowing it to regrow stronger and healthier.

Trimming a hedge helps maintain its health by cutting away dead or diseased branches, promoting denser leaves, and making sure it retains its preferred shape and size. It also enhances air circulation and sunlight access, which is crucial for overall vitality.

If your hedge is showing signs of disorder, losing its shape, spreading onto paths or adjacent areas, having sparse growth, excessive height, dead branches, or poor flowering and fruiting, it’s time to consider pruning.

Hedges generally require pruning once or twice per year, depending on their type and how quickly they grow. Customise your pruning schedule to the specific needs of your hedge species to keep them looking their best throughout the year.

Yes. Proper trimming helps extend the life of hedges by fostering healthy growth and preventing problems such as diseases or pests. Hedges that receive consistent care are more resilient to environmental challenges.
