TREE SERVICES
TREE REMOVALS
We have the equipment and experience to deal with the removal of trees, large and small, in open or enclosed areas.
The safety of ourselves, the public and your property is our highest priority. We can remove all waste generated by the removal of a tree, or process logs into firewood and brush into mulch for use in your garden.
We aim to leave minimal trace that we were even on-site! Please see our gallery for images of our work.
At Treelands we donate a new native tree through Trees that count every time we remove a mature tree, and our customers also have the option to do the same. Our customers who choose to donate are entered into the Treelands Hall of Fame.
PRUNING
CANOPY REDUCTION
Canopy reduction involves pruning small to medium sized portions of the canopy extremities, whilst retaining a suitable growth point on the branch/es which are being pruned back. The amount which can be removed without detriment to the tree varies based on not only species but also each individual tree. The aim to achieve a tree which has similar or improved form, but slightly smaller. This technique is also used to reduce wind loading, subsequent loss of limbs or portions of the tree. If you want a tree which is half of the size of your current one, that tree is probably not the ideal species for the site. View the clip below for a great example of one of our reduction to a London Plane.
CANOPY THINNING
Often the first choice for sites where more filtered sunlight through a tree is desired. This is often because it is the easiest and cheapest option, and also can enhance the aesthetics of the tree. Light thinning is recommended but trees which have been heavily thinned can have issues further down the track.
FORMATIVE PRUNING
Often in young or semi mature trees, formative pruning is preemptive maintenance which aims to correct crown issues such as co-dominant (double) leaders, crossing or rubbing branches and so on. It is best to tackle these problems when a tree is young as they can have a much larger impact on tree structure and health at maturity.

CHIPPING AND FIREWOOD PROCESSING
Felling your own tree and want us to remove the waste? We can do that for you by chipping all the small section into mulch, and processing the larger wood into logs.
