Caring for your trees goes far beyond looks.

The right pruning not only enhances appearance — it protects your home, encourages healthy growth, and prevents risks.

In Sydney’s unique climate, every tree needs a little extra attention.

Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the right type of pruning:

1. Thinning Pruning – Let your tree breathe.

Removes excess branches to improve sunlight and airflow.

Keeps natural shape

2. Shaping (Formative Pruning) – For trees that look their best.

Ideal for young or ornamental trees that need structure.

Enhances landscaping

Directs growth

Tidies uneven shoots

3. Rejuvenation Pruning – Give your tree a fresh start.

Perfect for overgrown or tired trees. Encourages strong new shoots.

 Best done in late winter or early spring.

4. Deadwooding – Safety first.

Removes dead branches that can fall, especially after storms.

Prevents accidents

Keeps your property safe

Essential for trees near homes or roads

5. Crown Reduction – When trees outgrow their space.

Safely reduces height and spread without harming the tree.

⚠️ Tip: never remove more than 20% of the crown.
