Tree pruning is the key to healthy trees
Cutting away diseased foliage and dead branches is an essential part of good tree care. Our qualified arborist, Nathan, looks after residential and commercial gardens across the Illawarra.
Thinning dense foliage lets sunlight through to neighbouring plants and onto parts of your property that might otherwise suffer from mould or mildew.
Careful pruning also deals with low-hanging branches over driveways, paths, windows and doors, so you keep the shade without losing access. It helps with branches near power lines and those that keep filling your gutters with leaves.
All our work follows industry best practice and complies with Australian Standard AS 4373 Pruning of amenity trees.

Our tree pruning and trimming services
We take care of all your tree pruning needs in Wollongong, Shellharbour and across the Illawarra.
Crown lifting
Removing lower branches shapes the tree and frees up the space beneath the canopy, without reducing the shade it provides.
Deadwooding
Removing dead wood is good for the tree’s health and safety. Our experienced climbers can safely reach dead branches that could snap off in storms or high winds.
Formative pruning
Shaping young trees as they grow, guiding the trunk and main branches to prevent structural weakness by removing crossed or poorly attached branches.
Reduction pruning
Reducing the height or spread of a tree by cutting branches back to suitable growth points, easing load on limbs and keeping clearance from buildings.
Remedial pruning
Repairing storm damage or poor past pruning, and helping trees with overcrowded crowns or a history of branch failure in strong winds.
Selective pruning
Targeting branches that grow too close to a structure or obstruct paths, driveways or service wires.
Tree lopping and pruning questions, answered
Can’t see your question? Call 1300 673 407 and talk to an arborist.
Do you do tree lopping in Wollongong?
Yes. If you need a tree cut back, reduced in size or cleared away from your house, driveway or gutters, we can help across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Dapto and the Illawarra. Rather than hacking branches back to stubs, we prune to Australian Standard AS 4373, which keeps the tree healthier and safer.
What's the difference between tree lopping and pruning?
Lopping usually means cutting large branches back hard, often to stubs. That can stress a tree and lead to weak, fast regrowth. Pruning removes or shortens branches at suitable growth points, so the tree stays healthy and keeps its natural shape. All our work follows AS 4373 Pruning of amenity trees. Our guide to tree lopping vs pruning explains more.
Which type of pruning does my tree need?
It depends on the tree and what you want to achieve. Crown lifting frees up space under the canopy, deadwooding removes dead branches, reduction pruning brings down height or spread, and selective pruning clears paths, driveways and structures. Book a free onsite quote and Nathan will recommend the right approach.
Can pruning fix storm damage?
Often, yes. Remedial pruning repairs storm damage or poor past pruning. If a tree has been badly damaged or looks unsafe, a tree assessment will tell you whether it can be saved. For urgent storm damage, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you trim hedges as well as trees?
Yes. We look after hedges and trees for homes and businesses, and can combine pruning with lawn maintenance to keep the whole property in shape.
