Tree Branch Trimming in Tugun removes the bridges possums use to reach your roof. Possums are good climbers and will happily walk along a branch and drop onto the gutter. Palms, frangipanis, fig trees, gum trees and big hedges near the house all give them a way up, and once they find a path, they use it night after night.
The crew we book looks at every tree and shrub near the house and picks out the branches that touch the roof, hang over it or come within easy reach of the gutter line. These are cut back to leave a clear gap between the tree and the house. The crew trims only what is needed to break the path, so the tree still gives you shade and privacy.
- Branches touching or hanging over the roof cut back

Trimming is most useful alongside possum proofing. Sealing the roof stops possums getting in, and trimming stops them getting onto the roof in the first place. It also means fewer leaves in the gutters and valleys. The crew does light trimming from ladders. Big trees, and any tree near power lines, need an arborist, and the crew will tell you if that is the case.
Trees on the coast grow back quickly, so a check each year or two is worth it. We book tree branch trimming across Tugun with upfront pricing. Call 07 3543 7768, tell us about the trees near your roof, and we will book a nearby crew.
