Keep your trees healthy, safe and looking their best

Tree pruning ensures your trees look their best all year round.

Our leading Canberra tree surgeons can provide you with a free tree inspection to determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of your trees.

Every tree is different. Our team will assess its condition, location and growth before recommending the most appropriate approach.

When should you consider tree pruning?

There are many reasons you might want to consider tree surgery or pruning:

  • You are concerned about the health and safety of a tree
  • You would like more light to fall on your lawn so that your grass can grow
  • You’d like to be able to sit under your tree to have lunch
  • You have large limbs hanging over your house
  • You need to prune out diseased, dead and dangerous limbs to keep your trees growing strong and healthy
  • Branches are rubbing each other
  • Limbs are interfering with wires, buildings, gutters, roofs, chimneys, windows or getting in the way of the road or pavement.

Our tree pruning services

TreeWorks carries out a range of tree maintenance services to help you get the maximum benefit and lifespan from your trees.

Mature tree pruning

Pruning mature trees to remove dead and dying branches and maintain the tree’s shape, health and safety.

Young tree pruning

Pruning young trees to create a strong framework for future growth and encourage a single dominant stem.

Crown lifting

Removing selected lower branches to increase clearance beneath the tree and allow more light to reach grass and ground-covering plants.

Crown thinning

Reducing the density of a tree’s crown. This can improve airflow and significantly reduce wind resistance and the potential for storm damage.

Treeworks has provided arborist services at my residence for over 10 years. Recently Treeworks assisted in securing Government approval for the removal of our old and very large brittle gum, which without warning had dropped a main limb across our, and our neighbours driveways, missing our son’s car by inches. Over three days the Treeworks team did a great job in taking the tree down and cleaning up afterwards, and I must say that we and our neighbours feel much safer for this.

I had an excellent experience with TreeWorks! The office staff were super responsive and helpful. I wasn't around for the quote visit but my husband said it was all very simple and straightforward. The actual work of removing 5 large branches/limbs from a gum tree was completed by a team of 3. These guys were punctual, friendly and professional, and very hardworking/efficient. They deserve a big Christmas bonus this year! I am very happy to recommend TreeWorks and would definitely use them again in future.

Hard a huge gum tree removed from my front garden. Everything went very smoothly, from the tree inspection to the tree cutting and stump grinding. Was very happy with all the work done and all the workmen so very professional. The site was left clean. The price was reasonable for such a big project. Happy to recommend this company

I asked online for an inspection and quote and "Ed" was here almost before I pressed "Send". He quickly assessed our issues, asked us what result we were after and advised us on what we needed to do. He shared what seemed to us to be a lot of knowledge and told us to take some small steps over a couple of years and then contact Treeworks again. We will. No quote. No charge. I must be dreaming. Thanks Ed!

Arrived at 8 am to commence the job when it was still -3 degrees. The guys got on with the job without complaint and did not stop, except for a quick coffee break. Work and clean up was top class. Would highly recommend Treeworks!

David and his team did an amazing job of pruning, reducing tree height and also removing trees in our garden, and at a very reasonable cost. His knowledge, expertise and care as an arborist is excellent.
