Tree Trimming Helps Maintain Tree Health

Tree trimming can help to maintain the health of your tree, as well as remove branches that are obstructing your view, blocking the sun from your property or overhanging onto pathways or neighbours' gardens. Whatever your requirements, the professional arborists at Barlows Tree Services can help.


Whilst tree trimming may not be something you have considered prior to a problem arising, it can bring numerous benefits to your garden. Carried out by fully qualified arborists, Rockhampton tree trimming can:

  • Encourage healthy growth: Removing diseased or damaged branches improves the health of the overall tree and encourages strong growth and good shape.
  • Act as pest control: A tree infection can be caused by an insect infestation that risks spreading to other areas of your garden if left unchecked.
  • Reduce shaded areas: Trimming back trees on your property can reduce shading and allow the sun to reach your garden for longer.
  • Safeguard your property: Removing diseased or loose branches can prevent them from breaking and causing damage to you or your property. A tree arborist can also remove any climbing plants that could spread to your home.

Tree Trimming FAQs

Why should I trim my trees?

Overgrowth can have some negative effects on your tree’s health. For instance, the excess branch weight may lead to breakage, which damages the tree. Tree trimming helps prolong the tree’s life, as it relieves the tree of excess branches and allows even weight distribution. In addition, trees with infested, diseased or dead branches break easily, posing a significant safety risk. Trimmed trees are less likely to cause damage, especially in heavy winds or during storm season.

When is the best time for tree trimming?

Dead branches begin to stand out in summer, making it ideal to trim your trees during this time. For shrubs and spring-flowering trees, it’s best to prune right after the flowers bloom. It’s recommended to prune shrubs and trees that bloom between summer to fall in late winter or early spring, right as they commence their annual growth.

How often should I trim my trees?

It depends on the type of tree. Most mature trees require trimming every 3-5 years, while young trees need to be trimmed every 2-3 years. Fruit trees need pruning every year while certain species go many years without needing trimming. Your arborist will be able to create a trimming schedule that works best for the type of tree you have.
