Qualified Arborists
With years of experience, to ensure the highest quality and safest work.
Tree Pruning works we perform include:
Weight Reductions
Weight reduction is a pruning technique that involves the light reduction of lateral branches on a tree.
This kind of pruning reduces the likelihood of overextended branches breaking.
Canopy Reductions
Canopy reduction pruning involves reducing the complete canopy of a tree to correct pruning points.
This is commonly completed on ornamental and European species of trees, less so Eucalypts.
Service Wire Clearance
Received a notice from your power provider that your trees are to close to your service wire?
Heartwood Tree Care ensures correct distances between foliage and wires are maintained to save you unnecessary fines.
Property clearance
Pruning branches away from your house reduces leaf litter in gutters as well as reducing the chance of property damage in the event of branch failure.
Retrenchment pruning
Sometimes a tree is on its last legs. Retrenchment pruning reduces the overall span of a tree to reduce the risk of it failing.
Hedge trimming
Regular hedge trimming of common species such as James Stirling Pittosporums, Ficus and many Cypress species, ensures privacy in your property as well as maintaining an aesthetic green space.

Words from Happy Customers
Parrish, Sam and Greer did a great job pruning our big ornamental trees, fruit trees and removing some shrubs. They were professional, punctual, efficient and friendly, and Parrish is impressive with his expertise. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tree Pruning
Q: How often do I need to prune my trees?
Every tree is different so this is a hard question to give an exact answer. We will often revisit a client’s trees every 2 to 5 years based on a number of factors including the amount of regrowth, and the size and location of the tree.
Q: Can you just lop my tree?
Lopping or hard pruning of trees is really only acceptable as part of a tree management plan for a retrenchment prune. Hard or poor pruning often creates a lot more issues than it solves. The tree goes into shock, putting on rapid epicormic growth that is poorly attached. As a result, within a year or two, you have a tree that is a similar size, with long epicormics that are much more likely to fail and cause damage.
Q: Will the pruning hurt my tree?
We base our pruning works and recommendations on over a decade of experience, ensuring the tree has the vigour and capacity to compartmentalise and seal over pruning cuts. We will not recommend works on trees we wouldn’t perform to our own trees.
