Crown reduction, jacaranda pruning and heritage roof clearance across Windsor 4030. AS4373 cuts, fixed quotes.
Windsor has some of the best jacaranda streetscapes in Brisbane. November lights the suburb up. The trees lining the residential streets and the back yards are mature, established, and part of why people pay to live here. They aren't trees you want stub-cut.
Most of our Windsor work is pruning rather than removal. Crown reduction on big jacarandas and figs. Heritage roof clearance over Queenslander rooflines. Deadwooding before storm season. Done with proper AS4373 cuts, not the old-school hack that ruins these trees over five years.

Topping a Windsor jacaranda is the fastest way to lose what makes it valuable. The decay starts at the stub, the regrowth comes back as weak water shoots, and within five years the canopy looks ragged.
Crown reduction to AS4373 keeps the shape, drops the height by 15–25 per cent, and lets the tree heal. The streetscape stays intact and you keep the spring flowering.

Windsor in November is one of the best streetscapes in Brisbane. The street trees and the front-garden jacarandas turn the suburb purple for three or four weeks, and there's a measurable lift in foot traffic for the local cafés. None of it happens by accident — those trees have been quietly maintained by generations of owners and the council.
For private jacarandas on your block, the key rule is to prune outside flowering season. Late winter through early spring is the right window. That gives the tree time to set new flowering wood before October without you stripping the display.
The other thing worth knowing: jacarandas don't love hard pruning. They respond best to selective thinning and clearance work rather than crown reductions over 20 per cent. If yours has overgrown the spot it was planted in, the honest answer is sometimes that it was always going to outgrow that spot. Annual light pruning is better than periodic heavy cuts.
Council-owned street jacarandas are managed by BCC, not by homeowners. If a council tree is hanging over your property and needs work, the request goes through BCC's online system — you can't engage a private contractor to prune a street tree. We can help you understand which is which during the quote.
For owners who specifically want to maintain the heritage streetscape value of their tree, we offer multi-year maintenance plans — usually a light prune every 18–24 months — to keep the tree healthy and the flowering display strong. Ask about it when you book.
$250–$700 for smaller pruning. $700–$2,500+ for larger heritage tree reductions. Fixed quote after photos.
