Tree Lopping Melbourne

Tree lopping or tree trimming is crucial to maintaining the health and overall appearance of your tree. Melbourne Trees offers tree lopping and tree trimming services to residential and commercial clients.

Commercial tree lopping is most common in:

- Retaining walls (tree root removal)

- Building projects (tree roots damage building foundations, tree branches alter the shape of buildings, tree pruning allows for more sunlight, etc.)

Melbourne Trees can complete tree lopping jobs in a variety of different ways depending on the tree and the client's needs.

Tree lopping involves tree pruning and tree cutting. Tree pruning (also known as tree grooming) is the removal of dead wood and small branches along with shaping and thinning larger branches. This helps to prevent tree hazards, maintain tree health, clear crowded tree canopies, etc. Tree cutting involves the removal of large or overgrown tree parts. When tree lopping, tree cutting and tree pruning are all done at the same time, this is referred to as tree crown raising. Tree crown raising should only be performed by tree experts.

The tree lopping process starts with tree assessment that includes taking into account factors such as type of tree, location in the yard (whether tree is isolated or not), tree health, tree height, tree width, tree crown diameter (the distance from the tree's surface to where it spreads out), tree roots spread, tree root depth and density.

Once assessment is complete, trees are trimmed around the thinning areas with thinning shears. This allows for light penetration while also creating cohesion within tree crowns. Tree lopping is not considered complete until tree roots are trimmed by hand with root pruners.

The tree lopping tree trimming tree pruning tree cutting process can take up to two or three days depending on tree health, tree height, tree width and tree crown diameter.

Tree lopping may not be the best solution for shading buildings if other solutions are available. However, tree lopping is one of the easiest ways to improve tree health and tree root growth.

Tree lopping can also be done at different times of the year. In general, tree lopping is performed from February to June or from August to November, depending on tree type and location.

Not all tree lopping and tree trimming companies are created equal. Tree lopping is actually considered tree surgery, which is a very delicate process. Expert tree surgeon skills (including expert tree lopper skills) are required to prevent further damage to trees or injuries to property owners or their family members. This is especially true when cutting branches that
