Tree Lopping

Tree Lopping – Sydney Tree Removers


Tree lopping is removing tree branches to modify and reduce the size of a tree. It aims to train the growth of a tree in the desired direction for aesthetic purposes and to prevent hazards on power lines and structures. 


  • A tree lopper usually removes sections of a tree to relieve the tree from the burden of overgrowing branches. Overgrowths deprive healthy parts of the tree of getting enough nutrients. Removing them through tree lopping allows enough nutrients to flow within the remaining parts of a tree.


  • Tree lopping also allows air and sunlight to circulate evenly in the crown, canopy, and lower parts of the tree. It boosts photosynthesis, the food-making process among plants and trees. As such, it promotes healthy and stronger growth among trees. It is by removing unhealthy branches and limbs that rub other parts of the tree.


  • At the same time, tree loppers modify and reduce the size of a tree to train its growth in the desired direction. It keeps the tree away from damaging structures like invading gutters and roofs and endangering power lines if they grow over these cables.

Many people say that tree lopping is an indiscriminate and unselective cutting of tree branches and limbs. Indiscriminate and unselective cutting of branches and limbs can endanger the health of a tree. That is why many people oppose the performance of tree lopping.  In reality, tree lopping must be performed by professional tree loppers. Professional tree loppers know the right technique for cutting the branches and limbs of a tree to promote healthy and stronger growth. Cutting may be unselective but it is limited to a certain percentage to avoid endangering a tree's health.


The cost of tree lopping may vary depending on the accessibility of the location, condition, species, and size of a tree, together with the risks involved.
