Tree Pruning FAQs

  • Can I trim branches from a neighbour’s tree?

    Tree protection laws in Heathcote require council permission to cut overhanging branches on a neighbour's property. While you don’t actually need their consent, it's a good practice to notify them in advance. 

  • When is tree pruning necessary?

    If you observe that your trees are not in good health or have dead, overgrown branches, it's time to consider pruning. These problems can obstruct growth and lead to future health issues, and falling branches can cause damage. We recommend pruning trees at least twice a year, or more frequently if needed based on species and growth rate.

  • How are trees pruned?

    For safe tree pruning, count on Bob & Ben The Tree Men. Our professional team will assess your tree, obtain council approval, and perform the necessary pruning, including dead wood and excess growth removal. We’ll also handle cleanup and removal of all trimmings from your property.

  • Do I need the council to approve the pruning of my tree?

    Sutherland Shire Council requires that tree pruning be conducted according to Australian Standard AS 4373-2007, which supports safe practices to prevent issues such as branch failure, disease, and early tree death.


    According to the standard, the person carrying out the pruning must possess a minimum AQF Level 3 certification in arboriculture. Council approval is required for heritage-listed trees, native vegetation associated with threatened species or ecological communities, and trees of indigenous or Aboriginal significance.

    Tree pruning rates vary with height, condition, and accessibility. For a precise cost estimate, contact Bob & Ben The Tree Men for a free, no-obligation quote.

Hedge Pruning FAQs

  • Can I prune my hedge at any time of year?

    Late winter and early spring are ideal for pruning overgrown hedges, as these seasons match the plant's dormant phase, which encourages vigorous and healthy regrowth.

  • What are the benefits of pruning my hedge?

    Hedge pruning supports strong growth by removing damaged or diseased branches, encouraging a fuller leaf canopy, and keeping the hedge’s shape and size in check. It also facilitates better air flow and light penetration, which are key for its health.

  • What are the signs that my hedge needs pruning?

    Your hedge may need pruning if it appears messy, has lost its form, is intruding on walkways or adjacent properties, has sparse growth, excessive height, dead branches, or suffers from poor flowering or fruiting.

  • How often should I prune my hedges?

    Most hedges need to be pruned at least once or twice annually, depending on their type and growth rate. Adjust your pruning schedule based on the unique needs of your hedge species to make sure they remain healthy and attractive year-round.

  • Can hedge trimming improve the lifespan of my hedges?

    Yes, maintaining hedges through proper trimming can lengthen their lifespan by supporting healthy growth and reducing the risk of disease and pest issues. Well-cared-for hedges are more durable against environmental stress.
