We can maintain a variety of hedges and topiary trees to geometric designs or elaborate forms to ensure your property looks its best. A high level of attention to detail goes into shaping and trimming hedges to ensure they are evenly maintained and looking formal. Depending on the species of your hedge and how formal the appearance required will depend on the intervals for trimming and maintenance. We suggest regular hedge trimming maintenance every 4, 6 or 12 months as some hedge species grow quicker than others due to factors that influence your plant species, as well as soil type and sunlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362285569-URAJI0L0WSNEGZZOWZPF/image-asset.jpeg Hedge Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362285574-KGBW5Z91NMP3A9F1DYGH/image-asset.jpeg Hedge Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362285579-NSSE3LI9IZ4XDXT3DLOQ/image-asset.jpeg Hedge Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362285584-2QYV6026DGCDJ60492U9/image-asset.jpeg Hedge Trimming https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362285574-KGBW5Z91NMP3A9F1DYGH/hedge-trimming-services Hedge Trimming Our Hedge Trimming Services Include Regular trimming maintenance Hedge height reduction Hedge trimming utilising Bucket trucks Formal topiary https://www.specimentreecare.co.nz/tree-bracing daily 0.75 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288747-WYJ63C2DRZGF259TGBMQ/Bracing-2.jpg Tree Bracing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288779-Y1Y8GWAY6NSECQ4OYYJY/bracing-4.jpg Tree Bracing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288754-WXS0IG70YIJLOJ2LGBWA/Dio-School-Queensland-Kauri-1.jpg Tree Bracing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288796-YMK6N9SFUX6NU6FMD1PS/Dio-School-Queensland-Kauri-5.jpg Tree Bracing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288788-QDD4WAIHYBL49T14OH10/IMG_0883.JPG Tree Bracing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288764-10E0NE5JP8IXU5XASG9S/IMG_2884.JPG Tree Bracing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288722-X45RBH2EWRK48C35GPL6/About+Our+Tree+Bracing+Service Tree Bracing - WE ARE SPECIALISTS About Our Tree Bracing Service A common risk of tree failure is the presence of codominant stems, Codominant stems, or “tight branch union,” are structurally weak compared to a single stem. This is due to the lack of connective tissue anchoring a stem together and the presence of included-bark between the stems. The greater the angle of the “tight branch union,” the greater the risk of structural failure. Tree bracing is the process of providing a support system for trees to protect vulnerable limbs and branches by limiting movement. Brace rods are used to hold a branch union or branch that has split. The appropriate configuration is dependent on tree size and whether decay is present in the stems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362288813-9NHK5N24Y1151C16RDY3/included-tree-bracing-services Tree Bracing Our Tree Bracing Services Include Specimen Treecare can install tree bracing systems or brace rods, along with pruning work to reduce branch end-weight, which can reduce the likelihood of a structural failure and help to enhance the longevity and safety of your trees.

There are many ways a tree can be pruned, and often such work can be undertaken without compromising the appearance of the tree. However, it is important that a skilled arborist is used in order to avoid a poor result. Specimen Treecare will undertake the work safely with minimal fuss, leaving your property clean and tidy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362293965-QWVXT62RPO3GMN2W333Q/pruning-services-treecare Tree Pruning - Our arborists can advise the most appropriate pruning option Our Pruning Services Include Deadwood removal Crown lifting Crown reduction View restoration Branch weight reduction Formative pruning Improve Fruit Production Dead Palm frond removal https://www.specimentreecare.co.nz/storm-damage daily 0.75 2023-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60763fa8a6fff762e8f07ebb/1618362297269-5BHVNVL4PMS7D870A0L2/storm-damage-services Storm Damage - WE ARE SPECIALISTS About Our Storm Damage Service After a severe storm, you can be left with fallen branches, broken limbs, and damaged or fallen trees.

This can be a nuisance for future garden work, construction plans, and even lawn mowing. We can grind the remaining stump and surface roots with our specialised stump grinding equipment to below ground level. Once the stumps are completely ground out, you can utilise the stumpgrindings in the garden or we can remove them and reinstate your garden, therefore leaving the area ready for grassing over or replanting.
