What is Tree Pruning and Tree Trimming?
Pruning is the process of selectively removing dead and unwanted branches to enhance the trees structure and encourage new, healthy growth. Tree trimming is focused primarily on aesthetics, helping to maintain a trees shape and improve the appearance.
Trimming is typically done once or twice a year, or when you feel your tree is looking out of shape. Pruning is generally done strategically throughout the year, with the timing dependent on the species of tree. Our expert arborists can advise on the best pruning schedule for your trees.
Why Tree Trimming and Pruning is Important?
Without trimming and pruning, a tree can become weak and less likely to survive the harsh winter months. The main benefits include:
- Tree health. Trimming and pruning eliminates dead and dying branches. This prevents further decay and allows new, healthy branches to grow.
- Reduce pests. Critters and pests are attracted to un-pruned trees, because the dense branches give extra cover. Cutting away dead branches gives them less places to hide.
- Minimise risk. Dead and decaying branches can become loose and ultimately a hazard. Tree pruning and trimming eliminates unsafe branches, which is especially needed after a storm.
- Improve appearance. Regular pruning and trimming improves the overall appearance and structure of your trees. This also enhances the curb appeal of your home.
- Better sunlight exposure. A dense, decaying canopy can block sunlight from getting through to lower branches and to the plants beneath a tree. A pruned tree, allows sunlight to the lower branches, which encourages healthy growth.

Tree Pruning & Maintenance FAQs
How often should I trim and prune my trees?
The frequency of tree trimming and pruning depends on the type and purpose of the tree. Generally, most trees benefit from annual or biennial pruning, but some may require more or less frequent attention. For example, fruit trees may need pruning every year to promote fruit production, while evergreen trees may only need pruning every few years to maintain their shape. Our expert arborists can advise you on the best pruning schedule for your trees, based on their health, growth, and appearance.
What is the best time of year to trim and prune my trees?
The best time of year to trim and prune your trees depends on the species and the reason for pruning. Some trees are best pruned in winter, when they are dormant and less susceptible to disease and insect infestation. Other trees are best pruned in spring or summer, when they are actively growing and can heal faster. Some pruning tasks, such as removing dead or damaged branches, can be done at any time of year. Our expert arborists can help you determine the optimal time of year to trim and prune your trees, based on their specific needs and goals.
