Why Tree Preparation Matters

Overgrown or poorly maintained trees can:

•           Fuel spot fires and ember attacks

•           Block fire access routes

•           Drop dangerous limbs during dry storms

•           Increase risk to sheds, fences, homes, and livestock

Essential Tree Safety Steps

1. Prune Overhanging Branches

Cut back any limbs within 10 metres of buildings, especially those above roofs or near power lines.

2. Remove Deadwood & Leaf Build-Up

Dry branches and leaves in canopies or gutters are extreme fire hazards. Clear them out routinely.

3. Thin Out Dense Tree Lines

If you have rows of trees close together, spacing them out or thinning low branches can create a natural firebreak.

4. Grind Tree Stumps

Old stumps can smoulder long after a fire and may reignite. Remove them now — especially around buildings.

5. Schedule a Tree Assessment

Call a qualified arborist to evaluate dangerous trees, especially if they’re close to your home, shed, or fences.
