Many Sunnybank Hills homes have large trees close to the house, from gums and jacarandas to mango and lychee trees. They are lovely to have, but a branch that hangs over the roof gives a possum a direct path onto the tiles or sheets. Once there, it only needs to find one small gap. Possums tend to use the same branch night after night. Trimming those branches back cuts off that route.
We book a local team for possum-focused trimming. The crew we book looks at which branches touch the roof, hang over it, or come close enough for a possum to jump across, and cuts them back to leave a clear gap. Cuts are made cleanly to keep the tree healthy. This is light, targeted work to stop roof access, not full tree removal or major tree surgery.
- Branches touching or overhanging the roof cut back
- Limbs near gutters and eaves trimmed clear
- Branches close to downpipes and fences checked
- Offcuts cleared from the roof and gutters
- Green waste bagged or left stacked, as you prefer
If the tree belongs to a neighbour, have a chat with them first, as the crew only trims branches on your side of the boundary. Palms growing against the house can also give possums a way up, and the crew can check these too. Trimming works well with roof gap sealing and downpipe guards, so a possum has no easy way up and no easy way in. It also keeps leaves out of the gutters.
You get upfront pricing on the phone, based on the number and height of the branches. Visits can be same-day or next-day where the run allows. To book tree branch trimming in Sunnybank Hills, ring 07 3543 7765 and tell us what kind of tree it is.
