Tree Pruning
Trees are a wonderful asset in any garden, for shade, privacy, restful greenery and a home for wildlife, but there are many dangers that can arise from poor and incorrect tree pruning.
Tree pruning needs to be done with a good understanding of how the tree will respond to each cut. Improper tree pruning can cause damage to the tree which can result in shortening the tree’s life. It can also affect the way branches grow back. If done incorrectly, branches can regrow with weak points which then become dangerous. This can cost you additional time, further money and can put people and property at risk. A professional Arborist understands and complies with the Australian Standard AS 4373 (Pruning of Amenity Tree).
Whether you’re after tree pruning for better light penetration, tree pruning for improving your views or to remove seed pods and dead fronds from palms, all the work done by our team at Banksia Arborcare will be carried out to the highest standards possible.
At Banksia Arborcare we endeavour to educate the public on the benefits of maintaining a green environment and with a background in Arboriculture, Tree Surgery and Horticulture, our extensive experience in all aspects of the tree business puts us in great shape to correctly diagnose and identify effective long term solutions.
Consultations and Hazard Assessment
We not only offer first class tree pruning services but we offer consultations and hazard assessment. We offer a complete approach to creating your perfect environment, from what trees to consider based on size, evergreen or deciduous, root structure to the types of trees that will benefit native wildlife.
It is vital that trees like the rest of the garden and lawn get regular maintenance and this means regular tree pruning. Trees are probably the most overlooked plant in the garden yet they have the ability to be the most dangerous, emphasising just how important correct tree pruning is.
