Benefits of Tree Pruning in Canberra

There are numerous benefits associated with regular tree pruning in Canberra:-

• Encourages healthy new growth and may prolong the life of a tree.
• Diseases, insect pests, and structural issues can be identified earlier.
• Trees, shrubs, and hedges are kept looking sharp – improving your property’s aesthetic value.
• Removes weaker branches that are susceptible to disease and storm damage.
• Increases the ability of the sun to reach the lower branches.
• Can boost the flower and fruit production of a tree.

Our Tree Pruning Services in Canberra

Stump’d Tree Services takes great pride in providing quality, competitively priced tree pruning services in Canberra.

Tree Pruning

Tree pruning requires knowledge of local tree species and climate to ensure that pruning is done at the right time of the year. In Canberra, many large trees such as eucalypts are best pruned in late winter or early spring while they’re still dormant and the worst of winter has passed.

Trees and shrubs that flower in spring are usually pruned once they finish flowering. As a general rule, autumn is not a good time to do tree pruning in Canberra, as any new shoots are unlikely to survive the cold winter.

Hedge Pruning

Hedges not only provide privacy and reduce noise but also add aesthetic value to a property. Hedges require yearly pruning to retain their shape and health. In Canberra, hedges are typically pruned in late winter when the buds are still dormant.

Ideally, hedges should be trimmed to be slightly wider at the base, which enables the sun to reach the entire hedge. As tree pruning professionals in Canberra, Stump’d Tree Services takes good care of local hedges.

Large Shrub Pruning

Like trees and hedges, large shrubs require regular pruning. Large flowering shrubs, such as Queensland silver wattles (Acacia podalyriifolia) and bottlebrushes (Callistemon sp.), are best pruned after they have flowered. Leon and the team at Stump’d Tree Services are highly skilled at identifying and pruning large shrubs in the Canberra region.
