Tree Removal -

Before any tree removal work can be done, please ensure you have permission from your local council for your own financial and legal protection. You can read this article to see if this applies to you. It would also be wise to let your neighbours know that you will be having some tree work done so they are prepared for noise and labour near their place of residence. Large trees that sway heavily in the wind can cause tremendous risk not only to surrounding houses, cars and electricals, but also to yourself and other people! Roadside tree are one of the most at risk species as they are very exposed to fungal infection other biotic stress factors. Not to mention, strong and well-aged trees have root systems that can cause damage to roads, sidewalks, driveways and underground piping.

If you would like to know more about the behaviour of trees, you can call our arboriculture specialists at 02 8806 1498 for more information regarding trees and the techniques that ensure the safety of your surroundings.

After gaining the council’s approval, our team will begin the tree removal service in the safest and most efficient manner. It is important to not only remove the body of the tree, but also the stump as well, making sure that there is no damage caused to any underground infrastructure such as pipes and wiring. We then move to the debris disposal stage where we pass all leftover branches and other organic debris through our onsite wood shredder.

Tree Pruning -

Maintaining a beautiful view of your backyard or garden takes time and energy. At Blacktown Tree Services, we provide efficient and cost effective pruning and maintenance of your trees, ensuring that your backyard is always visually appealing and up to your beauty standards.

Benefits of pruning:

Pruning establishes and maintains the tree’s health through the removal of excess and / or diseased parts of the plant. By doing this, the tree is allowed to redirect its energy to growing taller and stronger without wasting resources on the dying / decaying sections.

Pruning has been proven to reduce the development of diseases and also improve the quality and quantity of flowers (if the tree is a flowering tree). Additionally, the process allows greater air and sun circulation to reach the inner parts of the tree, allowing the once shadowed regions to receive sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of pruning is ensuring the safety of the surrounding area by decreasing the risk of accidents. Overgrown / overextending branches and roots can often cause electrical damages and have the potential to cause damage during stormy weathers.

If you would like to maintain the health and appearance of your trees, please give us a call at 02 8806 1498 and we will be more than happy to shape the garden of your dreams!

Stump Grinding -

Our team will use a stump grinder to extract the stubborn tree stump which not only removes it as a health and safety hazard, but also prevents small shoots from regrowing back into a tree. Leaving a stump untreated can often lead to fungal growth which could end up damaging surrounding plant life, therefore we will remove the stump at least a few inches into the ground so you can cover the excavated region with soil / compost. This will prevent the previous tree sprouts from growing as no sunlight can reach through the soil and will prevent the growth of fungus.
