About tree lopping and pruning
Good pruning follows the Australian standard: selective cuts that keep the tree healthy while clearing roofs, paths and views. Indiscriminate topping ruins tree structure and produces weakly attached regrowth that becomes tomorrow's hazard, so be wary of anyone who only offers to 'lop it right back'. Powerline clearance work must be done by crews authorised for line-adjacent work.
Getting quotes in Heddon Greta

Quick answers
What is the difference between lopping and pruning?+
Pruning makes selective cuts to standards that preserve tree health and structure. Lopping in the crude sense means cutting branches back to stubs, which triggers weak regrowth and decay and often makes the tree more dangerous within a few years. Many quality businesses still use the word lopping, so judge them by their method, not the name.
Can my neighbour's tree branches be cut back?+
Generally you may trim branches overhanging your boundary back to the fence line at your own cost, but rules differ by state and protected trees still need approval. Offering the clippings back is a legal nicety in some states. For anything bigger than secateurs work, a shared arborist quote keeps both the tree and the relationship intact.
How soon can a tree be removed after quoting?+
Routine removals are usually scheduled within one to two weeks, faster in quiet season. If a permit is required, add the council's processing time, commonly two to six weeks. Genuine hazards, a cracked union or a tree moving at the roots, are treated as emergency work and handled in days or hours.
