HOW OFTEN SHOULD I PRUNE MY TREES?

Most trees benefit from pruning every 2–3 years. We can recommend a tailored plan based on the species and condition of your trees.

IS TREE PRUNING THE SAME AS LOPPING?

No. Tree lopping is outdated and harmful to trees. Pruning follows Australian Standards, improving safety and health without damaging the tree.

WILL PRUNING HURT MY TREE?

Not when it’s done correctly. Our qualified arborists prune carefully to encourage growth, prevent disease, and maintain structural strength.

DO I NEED A PERMIT TO PRUNE TREES IN MELBOURNE?

It depends on the type and location of the tree. We’ll guide you through the council requirements and ensure compliance.

PRECISION TREE PRUNING & CANOPY CARE IN MELBOURNE

PROFESSIONAL TREE CARE FOR SAFETY & LONG-TERM HEALTH

Trees can be one of your property’s greatest assets — but without proper pruning, they can quickly become a safety hazard or lose their natural shape. At Global Arborist Australia, we specialise in tree pruning across Melbourne to improve tree health, enhance property safety, and create more beautiful outdoor spaces.

The problem many property owners face is knowing when and how to prune. Poor or aggressive cutting can weaken a tree, make it unstable, or even breach council regulations. That’s where we come in. Our team of qualified arborists follows Australian Standard AS 4373—2007 to ensure every cut supports long-term growth and safety.

By investing in proactive, seasonal pruning, you’re not just reducing risks — you’re protecting your trees for the future.

TREE PRUNING MELBOURNE – EXPERT CARE FOR HEALTHIER, STRONGER TREES

SPECIALIST PRUNING

Every tree and property is different, which is why we always begin with a consultation. We’ll discuss your goals — whether that’s creating clearance around buildings, removing hazardous branches, or shaping your trees with a formative prune. Our arborists also provide annual pruning plans to maintain healthy growth year after year.

FORMATIVE PRUNING

Young trees benefit greatly from early intervention. Formative pruning shapes the structure of the tree, encourages strong branch development, and reduces the risk of future issues. By training trees early, we help them grow safely and beautifully.

WEIGHT REDUCTION

Heavy branches can put stress on a tree’s structure, increasing the risk of breakage. Weight reduction pruning carefully removes select branches to balance the canopy, reduce strain, and prevent dangerous limb failure.

CANOPY REDUCTION

If a tree has outgrown its space, canopy reduction can help. By reducing the overall crown size, we allow more light into your property, improve airflow, and reduce risks from overextended branches — all while maintaining the natural beauty of the tree.

PROPERTY CLEARANCE

Overhanging branches can interfere with roofs, gutters, power lines, and fences. Our property clearance pruning keeps your home or business safe while complying with council and utility regulations.

HABITAT CREATION

Pruning isn’t always about removal. In some cases, we can create habitat hollows or retain sections of the tree to support native fauna. This ensures your garden remains a thriving ecosystem for wildlife while maintaining safety.

DEAD WOODING

Dead or decaying branches are not only unsightly — they’re dangerous. Dead wooding involves removing these weak branches to protect people, property, and the health of the tree itself.

BROKEN & HANGING BRANCHES

Storms or strong winds often leave branches broken or hanging. These need urgent attention, as they can fall without warning. Our arborists act quickly to remove damaged branches and restore safety to your property.
