Tree Pruning Mid North Coast

Good pruning is the difference between a tree you love and a tree you worry about every time the wind picks up. Done right, it keeps a tree healthy, safe and looking the way it should.

Tree Pruning done properly

Our arborists prune with the tree's long-term health in mind. That means correct cuts at the branch collar, no lopping or hat-racking, and only removing what needs to go. Coastal trees on the Mid North Coast cop salt wind and summer storms, so balancing a crown and taking weight off heavy limbs makes a real difference to how a tree stands up to bad weather.

We prune for clearance too: limbs off roofs and gutters, branches away from driveways, sheds and pool fences, and canopy lifted so light and lawn come back underneath.

Fruit trees, ornamentals, hedges, large gums and palms are all in the mix. Palm clean-ups that remove old fronds and seed pods are popular along the coast.

FAQs

Tree Pruning questions

When is the best time to prune trees on the coast?

Most trees can be pruned year round. Deadwood and storm hazards should be dealt with as soon as you notice them. For flowering and fruit trees we will advise the best timing for that species.

Is pruning better than removal?

If a tree is healthy and well placed, pruning is almost always the better option. We will tell you straight if pruning will fix the problem or if removal is the safer call.

Do you lop trees?

No. Lopping damages trees and causes weak regrowth. We use proper pruning cuts that let the tree heal.

I called Ability this morning to see if I could get a quote on the removal of two smallish trees and a palm tree. They came within half an hour, and were able to do the job straight away. 20 minutes later they were finished, and they removed all evidence of them having been there. Tidy, professional and prompt.

Matt, Tony and their team removed several large trees over and around our house using their crane. The ability, skill and workmanship was amazing. Friendly bunch of fellas too, would highly recommend their services.
