Canopy Shaping

Canopy shaping is selectively trimming tree branches to control growth and promote healthier trees. When left unchecked, trees can quickly become overgrown, causing unhealthy growth, obstructions of views, or property damage. Canopy shaping helps to control this growth, giving trees a more pleasing appearance and reducing the risk of branches breaking or falling. In addition, canopy shaping can help increase sunlight exposure and improve air circulation, leading to healthier trees. 

Canopy Raising

Canopy raising is a pruning technique that involves removing lower branches on a tree's trunk to increase the canopy's height. This can be done for various reasons, including creating more ground-level space and altering the tree's shape. Canopy raising is an excellent way to manage the growth of your trees and can help them grow aesthetically pleasing. However, canopy raising can also be dangerous if not done correctly by a qualified professional. . This is why it’s best to trust the experts and call Colac Trees to raise the canopy of your trees.

Dead or Diseased Branch Pruning 

Dead or diseased trees can pose a significant hazard to people and property. Branches can become destabilised and fall off during high winds and storms, and dead branches can become dry and brittle, presenting a fire hazard. Colac Trees will inspect the health of your trees and assess any dangerous-looking branches, removing dead or diseased wood. This will help to ensure the safety of your home or business.

Tree Reduction

Trees are vital to our landscape, providing shade, beauty, and homes for wildlife. However, trees can also become overgrown, making them difficult to manage. Tree reduction is a tree service that can help to address these issues. Tree or crown reduction involves carefully trimming back the branches of a tree, reducing its size and making it more manageable. This has the added advantage of keeping the tree away from fences and other structures. Tree reduction is a vital tree service that can help to keep your landscape healthy and well-managed.

Fruit Tree Pruning

For deciduous fruit trees such as apples, pears, and plums, fruit pruning is best done in the winter. These trees will fruit whether pruned or not; however, regular pruning will prevent the tree from growing too high, making it difficult to harvest the fruit. In addition, left unpruned, fruit trees will have areas of unproductive wood, meaning a smaller yield or irregular crops. Having your fruit trees pruned regularly will support healthy growth and reliable crops of good-sized fruit easily within reach!

Tree Lopping

Victoria’s storms and droughts can cause damage to trees, damaging their limbs or branches that can potentially become a risk or a hazard. Tree lopping is a service we provide at Colac Trees to safely remove large side branches and tree crowning is when we remove large sections of the crown of the tree. Unlike pruning which is done to protect a tree from disease and encourage better growth, lopping and crowning aim to drastically modify the size of the tree, usually for safety reasons. 


Our qualified team of tree lopping specialists can advise you on what is best for your damaged trees and may advise removing the tree altogether if deemed too far damaged and unsafe. Only professional arborists should perform tree lopping as many things can go wrong if not done correctly.
