Can I trim branches from a tree belonging to my neighbour’s property?

In the Sutherland Shire, all trees of a certain size are protected, meaning you need council permission to trim branches that hang over your neighbour's property. While it may not be necessary to ask your neighbour's permission, it's polite to inform them as a sign of courtesy.

When should you consider trimming a tree?

If you notice dead or diseased branches, or crowded branches hindering airflow and sunlight, it's crucial to consider tree trimming. Regular trimming not only promotes healthy growth but also enhances the overall appearance of your trees and landscape. We suggest trimming trees at least twice a year or more frequently if you notice rapid growth or specific issues requiring attention.

How are trees trimmed?

Trimming trees can be a meticulous and labour-intensive task that requires careful attention to detail. In order to carry it out safely and effectively, a professional arborist from Bob & Ben The Tree Men should be entrusted to do the job. After we have checked your tree and get clearance from the council, our trained team members will start trimming. They'll also remove dead or diseased branches, to improve the overall health and longevity of the tree. Once the process is done, they'll tidy up the area and take away any leftover trimmings from your property.

Hedge Trimming FAQs

How can I tell if my hedges are healthy?

Healthy hedges typically have lush, dense foliage and strong root systems, with even growth and no signs of damage or discoloration. On the other hand, sparse foliage, wilting, root damage or stunted growth may indicate underlying issues.
When is the best time to trim my hedges?

The ideal time for hedge trimming depends on the type of hedge you have. Typically, it's best to trim deciduous hedges in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, while evergreen hedges can be trimmed in late spring or early summer.

How often should I trim my hedges?

Most hedges benefit from trimming 1-3 times per year, but some fast-growing varieties might need more frequent maintenance. In general, the frequency of trimming your hedges depends on the growth rate of your hedge and the desired shape.
Will trimming my hedges encourage new growth?

Hedge trimming can significantly encourage new growth. When you trim a hedge, you often remove the terminal buds or growing tips. This removal stimulates dormant buds along the stems, prompting them to break dormancy and produce new shoots and foliage.
