- 2. Why Tree TrimmingMatters Tree trimming isn’t just about making your garden look neat. It plays a big role in keeping your trees safe, strong, and healthy. Encourages stronger, more balanced growth Allows more sunlight to reach grass and plants below Prevents hazards from falling limbs Helps control pests and tree diseases early Adds curb appeal and value to your property
- 3. Best Time toTrim Trees Not all seasons are equal when it comes to tree trimming. Timing it right can boost tree recovery and prevent unnecessary stress. Late Winter to Early Spring – Best for most trees as they’re dormant Avoid Autumn – Trees heal slower, increasing disease risk Flowering Trees – Trim just after they bloom to preserve next year’s flowers Anytime for Safety – Broken or risky branches should be handled immediately
- 4. Basic Tree TrimmingTechniques Using proper trimming techniques ensures your trees grow properly and stay safe over time. Start by removing dead, damaged, or diseased branches Don’t cut too close to the trunk (avoid cutting the “branch collar”) Always use clean, sharp tools to avoid damaging the bark Never remove more than 25% of the canopy in one go Make slanted cuts just above buds facing outwards to guide new growth
- 5. Safety Tips forHomeowners Tree trimming can be risky without the right precautions. Here’s how to stay safe while doing basic trimming tasks at home. Wear gloves, protective eyewear, and secure footwear Use a stable ladder and have someone hold it if needed Stay far from power lines – call a qualified arborist in Shellharbour if trees are near them Don’t trim large branches by yourself – it’s safer with help or a pro Keep children and pets away from the work area
