Tree Pruning – FAQs

1. Why is regular tree pruning important in Northern NSW?

Routine pruning improves tree health, structure and safety — especially in areas like Grafton where storms and overgrowth can cause serious property damage.

2. What’s the difference between pruning and trimming?

Pruning is structural and health-focused, while trimming is for appearance and clearance. We provide both, tailored to the needs of each tree.

3. Can you prune native or protected trees in Clarence Valley?

Yes, but we check local vegetation controls before proceeding. Some species require council approval. We’ll guide you through the process.

4. When is the best time to prune trees in Grafton?

Late winter or early spring suits most species, but we assess timing based on your tree type, condition, and the work required.

5. Is pruning safe for older or large trees?

Yes — when performed by qualified arborists. We follow Australian Standards (AS4373) to avoid over-pruning or stress on mature trees.
