Tree Trimming Done Properly
There is a difference between professionally trimming a tree and simply cutting branches back.
Removing too much canopy or making cuts in the wrong places can affect the tree’s structure, appearance and future growth.
Our arborists use professional tree pruning techniques with consideration for Australian Standard AS 4373, the tree species, its condition and what you want the trimming to achieve.
The aim is to solve the problem without unnecessarily cutting the tree.

What Happens to the Branches?
We clean up once the tree trimming is complete.
Branches and green waste can be chipped and removed from the property as agreed.
If you would like suitable mulch or timber left on-site, let our team know when arranging the work.

Large Tree Trimming Melbourne
Large trees can be difficult to trim when branches extend over homes, fences, pools, driveways or neighbouring properties.
Our team has more than $1 million invested in specialised tree equipment, allowing us to work safely on large and challenging trees.
We can assist with:
- Large mature trees
- Overhanging branches
- Trees close to homes
- Restricted backyard access
- Trees over buildings and fences
- Sloping properties
- Commercial sites
- High branches requiring specialised access
Where branches cannot simply be dropped, our team can use controlled techniques to safely manage sections as they are removed.
Tree Trimming vs Tree Lopping
Tree lopping generally involves heavily cutting branches or sections of a canopy back.
When too much is removed or cuts are made without considering the tree’s structure, it can result in large wounds, poor form and weak regrowth.
If your tree has become too large, professional trimming may provide the clearance you need without unnecessarily removing large sections of canopy.
Our arborists can assess the tree and recommend the most suitable approach.
Tree Trimming vs Tree Pruning
Tree trimming and tree pruning are often used to describe similar services.
Tree trimming is the term many homeowners use when they want an overgrown tree cut back, shaped or cleared away from a structure.
Professional tree pruning describes the selective techniques arborists use to achieve that result while considering the tree’s health and structure.
At TLC Trees, we don’t simply cut branches because they’re there. We assess what needs to be removed and why.
How Much Does Tree Trimming Cost in Melbourne?
Tree trimming costs depend on the tree and how much work is required.
The main factors include:
- Tree size
- Amount of trimming required
- Tree condition
- Height of the work
- Property access
- Nearby buildings and structures
- Equipment required
- Green waste removal
A smaller tree with easy access will generally require less work than a large tree with branches extending over a house.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should trees be trimmed?
There is no single trimming schedule for every tree. It depends on the species, age, condition, location and reason for trimming. Our arborists can recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule for your tree.
Â
What is the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Tree trimming commonly describes cutting back overgrown or unwanted branches, while professional pruning involves selectively removing branches for a specific purpose while considering the tree’s structure and health.
When is the best time to trim trees?
It depends on the tree species, its condition and what you want to achieve. Some trees respond better to trimming at particular times of year. Our arborists can advise you on the appropriate timing.
Can you trim branches hanging over my house?
Yes. Overhanging branches can often be selectively trimmed using specialised access, climbing or controlled rigging techniques where required.
Will you clean up after trimming my tree?
Yes. Branches and pruning debris are processed and cleaned up as part of the agreed work.
