Overhanging Branch Removal

Branches over the roof, over the fence, or over the driveway are the single most common reason people call us. Most of the time it is a straightforward job. Occasionally it involves a neighbour, and that is worth understanding before anything gets cut.

Getting branches off the house and out of the way

Limbs touching a roof drop leaves into gutters, scrape tiles every time it blows, and give possums a way in. Over a driveway they scrape cars; over a fence they become someone else’s problem as well as yours. We take the specific limbs back to a proper cut point so the clearance lasts, rather than shaving the tips and being back in a year.

Typical jobs:

Straight answer on where you stand, then the job done.

When the tree is your neighbour’s

If the tree is on your land, it is your call and we can prune to the boundary. If it belongs next door, it gets more involved — Queensland has a formal process for neighbour tree disputes, and there is a right and a wrong way to go about it. We will tell you plainly which situation you are in before anything is booked, and if it is heading toward a formal dispute, our AQF5 arborist can prepare the report that process needs.

Questions

Overhanging Branches — Frequently Asked Questions

  • There are rules about this in Queensland and they are more particular than most people expect — including what you are allowed to do with the material once it is cut. Rather than guess, get a look at it first. We will tell you what applies to your situation at the quote.

  • There is a formal process in Queensland for exactly this, and it generally needs an arborist’s report on the tree before it goes anywhere. Our AQF5 Diploma arborist can prepare that. Most situations never get that far, but it is worth knowing the path exists.

  • It can, if it is done without thought. Taking a lot of weight off one side of a canopy changes how the whole tree loads in wind. It is one of the reasons boundary work is worth having an arborist look at rather than a general handyman.

  • Yes. Between climbing, our tracked lift and crane work where the job calls for it, we can reach limbs over roofs and in tight backyards without dragging equipment through the house or the garden.
