Tree Pruning & Tree Trimming
At Simpson’s Tree Service we have been pruning trees safely and according to Australian Standards in the Lower Plenty area for over 30 years. We climb trees and can reduce the branch size to lessen the risk of branch failure and reduce the overall canopy size.
All cuts are done to a branch union or the trunk whichever is in the tree’s best interest. We will only “Lop” trees at the request of the client; otherwise the tree can become unsafe. The new branches that grow resulting from the lopping generally have poor branch attachment to the tree trunk – increasing the likelihood of the failure of the limb.
We also do canopy reduction which is like a big haircut for a big tree; our boys take a lot of pride in this sort of work and regularly check out the trees they’ve worked on to see how they’re responding to the pruning. Some trees we have worked on many times over the 30 years our company has been in operation, which we love
Why Would You Need to Prune Trees?
There are many reasons you may need to prune your trees — from improving their health and appearance to removing dangerous branches, preventing interference with roofs and service wires, increasing sunlight, and reducing risks during storms. Regular pruning also helps maintain the structure, strength, and long-term stability of your trees.
Remember a tree near a house saves a packet come summer in reduced air conditioning bills, and slows heat loss over night in winter.
Pruning Over Hanging Neighbors trees
Pruning overhanging neighbour’s trees is a common request, and we’re here to help. Whether you need a single branch removed to clear service wires and meet electrical safety requirements, or a full prune back to the fence line, our qualified arborists can carry out the work safely and correctly. In Victoria, you are generally permitted to prune branches that extend over your boundary, with or without the neighbour’s permission, provided the work is performed from your side and by a trained professional. We ensure the pruning is done cleanly, legally, and in a way that protects the long-term health of the tree.

Our Feedback
could not fault these guys. Prompt service, removed a dead gum and a few other crappy trees, cleaned up properly, and the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended
I had a wattle trimmed hanging over from neighbours. Ben and Jush provided Great service. Very efficient. Cleaned up afterwards I would thoroughly recommend them.
Fantastic job by Ben and the team. Job was completed as expected and left the site nice and clean. Third time I have used Bens service and wont be the last. Cheers
Very pleased in using Simpson's, they were skilful and quick to remove my 4 trees and reasonably priced.
23 cypress trees 15 metres tall and in danger of falling (as one already had broken off above 5 metres) between two properties had to be removed as one property was due to be sold. Bids to do the work were received from contractors known to each of the owners and Simpson Tree Service who had done work on the property before was the low bid and could do the work immediately. 4 men for 2 days and 3 men for one day cut down the trees by climbing and lowering branches and the trunks. A wood chipper produced 4 loads of 10 cubic metres as the trees were cut down to 4 metre stumps to prevent any future growth. At the end of each day the workplace was cleaned up of sawdust and cuttings. The work site safety procedures were evident each day and the team work was outstanding. A GREAT JOB WELL DONE BY BEN AND THE TEAM AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND Simpson Tree Service for similar work.
