AS4373-2007 standard pruning. Crown lift, deadwooding, formative pruning. Qualified arborists across Brisbane.
There's a difference between a tree that's been pruned and a tree that's been cut at. Correct pruning removes branches at the natural branch collar, preserving the tree's wound response and minimising decay. Lopping cuts branches mid-span, leaving stubs that die, rot, and produce vigorous weak regrowth.
All our pruning follows AS4373-2007 - the Australian standard for amenity tree pruning. Our arborists know where to cut, how much to remove, and when to recommend removal instead of repeated pruning.
Small tree pruning starts from around $150–$250. Medium trees $250–$550. Large trees $550–$1,200+. Price depends on tree size, number of cuts, access, and type of pruning required.
AS4373-2007 (Pruning of Amenity Trees) is the Australian standard. It specifies correct cut placement, maximum wound size, and acceptable pruning ratios. All our pruning follows this standard — flush cuts and lion-tailing are not acceptable practice under AS4373.
AS4373-2007 recommends removing no more than 30% of live crown in a single season for most species. Removing too much at once stresses the tree and can trigger rapid epicormic growth (water shoots).
Most pruning can be done year-round in Brisbane's climate. Flowering trees are best pruned after flowering. Avoid heavy pruning during periods of prolonged drought or heat stress.
Pruning removes specific branches to a natural union point (collar cut), following AS4373. Lopping cuts branches mid-span, leaving stubs that die back, create decay, and produce weak regrowth. We prune — we don't lop.
