Our Approach to Tree Maintenance in Brisbane

At Treesafe, we take a pragmatic, logical approach to each tree maintenance service we provide. Our primary focus is always on the safety of our arborists and onlookers and protecting any nearby property and other items that may be damaged due to poor planning and execution. 

Safety and Compliance in Tree Maintenance

We take no chances when working with our arboreal neighbours and always insist on maximum safety and protocol adherence. Some key considerations we are duty-bound to incorporate include:

  • Risk assessment

    Our experienced professional arborists will analyse any location in-depth before undertaking a tree maintenance service. They will consider factors like the stability of the trees in question, their proximity to power and telephone lines, and any other risks. 

  • Personal protective equipment (PPE)

    No arborist from Treesafe will perform tree maintenance without first donning the appropriate PPE. Hard hats, gloves, and boots are non-negotiable, as are respirator masks when dealing with sawdust and other fine, airborne particles.  

  • Well-maintained tools and equipment

    Nothing is more dangerous than attempting tree maintenance with improper or poorly maintained tools. At Treesafe, we pride ourselves on our rigorous standards in everything we do, and regularly inspecting and maintaining our tools and equipment are no exception. 

  • Preventing falls

    Falls from trees or lifting equipment are among the most common hazards associated with commercial and residential tree maintenance services and must be accounted for and avoided.  

  • Awareness of falling hazards

    The sheer weight of wood suspended high above our heads can be challenging to comprehend but it is no joke if it falls and hits you. Falling tools, limbs, branches, and even entire trees pose significant risks, and our team does everything possible to mitigate them. 

  • Compliance with all required regulations and standards

The Essential Guide: Why Prunning Your Trees is Essential

Pruning your trees is highly recommended for several reasons, including:

  • When correctly pruned, the tree can allocate resources to healthy areas and generate new growth.

  • Pruning often stimulates spurs, which lead to producing fruit.

  • Pruning your trees to remove diseased or dead branches can prevent the spread of disease and fungal infections. 

  • Removing branches that may fall and cause injury or damage is the best way to enhance safety and reduce the need for an emergency tree response after a storm.

  • Pruning helps shape the tree, enhancing its appearance and ensuring it fits well within your landscape.

  • Tree trimming and pruning mitigate potential costs due to property damage and reduce the likelihood of expensive future tree care.

The Best Time to Prune Trees in Australia

The best time to prune your tree in Australia depends on its type and the climate at your location. The following guidelines are an excellent place to start:

  • Winter (June to August)

    The dormant season is the best time to prune trees in Australia, as it minimises stress and promotes healthy growth in the spring to come.

  • Flowering Trees

    Spring-flowering trees should be pruned immediately after flowering, allowing the tree to focus on fruit development and growth.

  • Evergreens

    Prune your tree in late winter/early spring but not during sudden cold snaps.

  • Tropical and Subtropical Areas

    In Australia’s tropical North, tree trimming and pruning can be performed year-round, although pruning your trees during the wet season can allow diseases to flourish.

FAQs

  • No single answer covers the optimum frequency of tree maintenance services in all scenarios. However, as a general rule, the older the tree, the more often it must be inspected and dealt with. Some general guidelines are as follows:

    • Juvenile trees (from 0-5 years) 
      Careful, strategic trimming and pruning help to establish a robust and healthy structure that should lessen risks as the tree ages.

    • Mature Trees
      More frequent trimming and maintenance trimming are essential to highlight hazardous branches and remove dead ones. Depending on the species and age of the tree, maintenance should be performed every 1-5 years. 

    Regular assessments and professional tree maintenance services in Brisbane contribute to the health of your trees and help ensure safety and continuing aesthetic appeal. 

  • We have a proven record of successfully handling tree maintenance in a wide range of locations, both residential and commercial. Speak to our knowledgeable representatives today, and they will gladly discuss your requirements and how best to proceed with tree maintenance services. 

  • Neglecting tree maintenance is never recommended and can have very severe consequences, including:

    • Risk of injury or death
      As mentioned, falling trees and limbs are incredibly dangerous and can easily cause severe injury or death if not spotted and dealt with ahead of time. 

    • Damage to property
      Neglected trees often drop dead or weak branches, especially in high winds. Vehicles and structures can be destroyed by even relatively small limbs in the blink of an eye, and entire trees can wreak havoc. 

    • Disease
      Diseased trees that go untreated can be a breeding ground for unpleasant, destructive pests and even dangerous pathogens. Insufficient tree maintenance allows this to spread, and it can quickly affect surrounding trees. 

    In worst-case scenarios, entire ecosystems have been decimated by diseases and pests that could have been caught and removed with appropriate tree maintenance.

  • When wondering how to prune a tree, you will need some essential tools, including:

    • Sturdy garden gloves

    • Safety goggles

    • Hard hat (if lopping high branches that may fall)

    • Sturdy shoes or boots

    • Secateurs (hand pruners)—Single-handed shears with curved blades that are exceptional at dealing with stems, flowers, and small branches

    • Loppers—Like secateurs with longer handles, these shears can handle thicker branches

    • Hedge shears—For shaping and maintaining hedges

    • Pruning saw—A small, sharp saw for the branches loppers cannot cut

    • Pole pruners—Loppers with extremely long handles for reaching high branches without a ladder

    • Chainsaw—For the thickest branches and trunks, this powered tool uses a fast-moving chain that cuts through almost anything. It must be used with extreme caution and the appropriate safety gear.

  • Provided you have the requisite tools and safety equipment, there is no reason you cannot prune small trees and bushes if you feel confident. However, larger trees and more complex pruning are best left to professionals like those at Treesafe.
