Objective:

Increase vertical clearance between the ground and lower branches of the tree.

Reasons:

Create space for pedestrians, vehicles, or structures.

Enhance aesthetic appeal and visibility.

Technique:

Selectively remove lower branches to achieve the desired height and outcome.

Objective:

Manage the size and shape of the tree's canopy, typically reducing its overall height and spread.

Reason:

Address space constraints, prevent encroachment on structures or neighboring properties, enhance safety, and promote the tree's health and longevity.

Technique:

Selective pruning to reduce the length of branches, often using specific cuts to maintain the natural form while achieving the desired reduction in size.

Objective:

Reduce the density of the tree's canopy by selectively removing branches to enhance light penetration and air circulation.

Reason:

Improve the overall health of the tree by promoting better sunlight exposure, reducing wind resistance, and preventing the development of fungal diseases.

Technique:

Careful and selective removal of branches throughout the crown, focusing on congested or crossing branches, to achieve the desired level of thinning without compromising the tree's structure.

Objective:

Completely remove tree stumps below ground level, eliminating any remaining roots and allowing for the use of the area for other purposes.

Reason:

Enhance aesthetis, prevent regrowth, and eliminate potential hasards posed by protruding stumps. Also, facilitates landscaping or construction activities.

Technique:

Utilise a stump grinder, a specialised machine with a rotating cutting disk, to grind the stump and associated roots into small wood chips. The depth of grinding depends on the objective, ranging from surface level to complete removal below ground."

Chemical Treatments:

In some instances, chemicals are applied to the stump to expedite decomposition. This is a slower process compared to grinding and may involve drilling holes into the stump for chemical application.

Objective:

Maintain or reshape the hedge for aesthetic purposes, privacy, or to control its size and density.

Reason:

Enhance the overall appearance of the hedge, promote healthy growth, and address issues like overgrowth or uneven density.

Technique:

Pruning, trimming, and shaping the hedge using specific cutting techniques to achieve the desired height, shape, and density. This can involve both formative pruning for young hedges and maintenance pruning for established ones.

Objective:

Control the size and shape of the tree by removing the upper branches, promoting a specific growth form and appearance.

Reason:

Manage tree height, create specific aesthetic effects, or produce wood for various uses. Additionally, to encourage dense and bushy regrowth.

Technique:

Systematic removal of upper branches at a specific height above the ground, often performed on a regular schedule, to achieve the desired form and encourage vigorous regrowth from the pruning points.
