As the end of financial year approaches, Canberra homeowners, businesses, strata managers and property investors are reviewing maintenance budgets. Professional tree care is worth putting on that list. It improves how a property looks, reduces safety risks and heads off winter damage. It also gets busy before June 30, so booking early pays off.
Why the end of the financial year is a good time
Getting tree work done before EOFY helps you reduce the risk of falling branches, protect buildings, vehicles and infrastructure, support healthy growth and lift street appeal. Commercial properties, schools, body corporates and investment properties can all fold tree care into their regular maintenance program.
Professional tree pruning
Regular pruning keeps trees healthy and removes hazards. The usual targets are dead or dying branches, storm-damaged limbs, branches over buildings, growth near accessways and canopy so dense it blocks light or visibility.
Tree removal, when it is the last resort
If a tree is unsafe, storm damaged, threatening a structure, badly diseased or in the way of future development, removal may be the right call. It should always be done by trained arborists with the right equipment who know the local rules.
Tree health assessments
Internal decay, pests, root problems and structural weakness are often hidden from view. An assessment can identify disease, spot weak structure and help you prioritise work before it turns into costly emergency work.
Know the ACT tree rules
Many people do not realise their tree may be protected. In the ACT a tree on leased land is protected if it is 8 metres or taller, has an 8 metre canopy, or has a trunk circumference of 1 metre or more at 1.4 metres. Removal or major pruning of a protected tree needs approval first, so get advice before significant work.
