Branch cutting done by licensed arborists
Taking off the limb, not the tree
Most Castle Hill callers ring about one branch: a limb leaning over the roof, a dead bough above the driveway, or a section split by the last storm. The job is to remove that limb with a clean cut and leave the rest of the tree standing. This is different from tree removal, which takes the whole tree down.
Trees Down Under is a Hills District local business operating since 2005, and our certified, insured arborists use their own crane gear for limbs that cannot be lowered by hand.
Why old, dead and storm-damaged limbs need a professional
Dead or storm-damaged limbs can fail without warning and put homes and people at risk. They are also harder to cut with any margin for error, because the wood may be brittle or the weight unpredictable. An arborist reads those conditions before anyone climbs or cuts.
Cutting that protects the tree
Where a tree can be kept, correct cuts help it recover and seal over. Poor cuts can leave it open to decay and disease. The aim is to take off only what needs to go, which is why the inspection comes before any cutting.
