Crown reduction, clearance pruning and storm-season work across Wavell Heights 4012. AS4373 cuts, fixed quotes.
Wavell Heights is one of those inner-north pockets that's matured nicely over the decades. Original brick and post-war, with a steady mix of character renovations. The trees on most blocks have been around long enough to need attention — gums, jacarandas, poincianas, mangoes and the occasional camphor laurel.
Most calls are practical. Branch over the gutter. Tree over the fence. Pre-storm deadwooding. We do all of it with proper pruning, not stub-cutting.

If you've heard "lopping" and pictured a bare stub tree, that's the old-school version that damages trees. Modern crown reduction does the same job — smaller, neater tree — but cuts back to a lateral or the collar so the tree heals.
AS4373-2007 is the Australian Standard we work to. The cuts look invisible from twenty metres away.

One of the questions we get asked most often around Wavell Heights is "when's the best time to prune?" The answer depends on the species and what you're trying to achieve, but there's a rough seasonal rhythm worth knowing if you've got mature trees on the block.
Late winter to early spring (July–September) is the best window for crown reduction on most deciduous trees. Sap is low, the leaves are off (for jacarandas and poincianas), and you can see the structure clearly. Cuts seal cleanly going into the growing season.
October–November is jacaranda flowering season. We avoid heavy pruning during this window because it strips the display. Light clearance work over gutters is still fine, but save crown reductions for the off-season unless safety requires it.
Late spring through summer (November–March) is when storm damage happens. Pre-emptive deadwooding in October–November dramatically reduces the risk of an emergency call mid-storm. We run a heap of these jobs across Wavell Heights every year.
Autumn (April–June) is good for camphor laurel removal, formative pruning on young trees, and most evergreen work. Drier weather makes for cleaner access and faster jobs.
None of this is rigid. We can do safety pruning year-round, and we will if a tree's a hazard. But if your job isn't urgent, asking us when the best time is — for your specific tree — can save you money and produce a better outcome for the tree.
